The development of objective methods for assessing stress levels is an important task of applied neuroscience. Analysis of EEG recorded as part of a behavioral self-control program can serve as the basis for the development of test methods that allow classifying people by stress level. It is well known that participation in meditation practices leads to the development of skills of voluntary...

Alzheimer’s Disease is a very pressing disease that presents neurodegeneration of those affected, with no foreseeable cure as of yet. While there are many treatments that may reduce the level of neurodegeneration, or treat some of the root causes, a definitive solution to Alzheimer’s Disease does not exist. Therefore, its harmful effects must be minimized to the greatest extent possible. As...

Positive neuroscience focuses on the flourishing and optimized human brain. Despite this optimization being a result of higher conscious states, often caused by meditation or creative flow, the neuroscience field lacks research comparing these two unique brain states. Therefore, through an exploratory content analysis, this research will reveal what neural mechanisms can potentially...
