Background: Meditation is widely recognized for its beneficial effects on physical and mental health, particularly through modulation of the autonomic nervous system. Electrocardiography (ECG) provides a non-invasive method to assess cardiac electrical activity and autonomic balance. This study aims to compare ECG changes occurring during different stages of meditation with those observed...
Over the past few decades, research on mindfulness has become increasingly important in psychology, education, health, and everyday life. The present review examines the application of mindfulness in positive psychology and discusses how present-moment awareness can support well-being, happiness, resilience, and meaningful living. The article first clarifies the concepts of mindfulness and...
This study aims to systematically analyze and review meta-analytic studies on meditation published in Korea between 2010 and 2024. Using multiple academic databases (RISS, KISS, DBpia, and KCI), a final set of 15 core meta-analytic papers was selected for analysis. The findings indicate that domestic meditation meta-analyses can be categorized into four major streams: first, studies examining...
Across contemplative traditions, depper states of meditation are described as states of heightened clarity, vividness, and stillness of mind, yet what this clarity corresponds to in the brain has remained difficult to specify. The functional signal-to-noise ratio (f-SNR) framework frames mental clarity as a measurable property of neural signals: the degree to which brain activity tracks the...

Objective: To evaluate the effects of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) combined with standard perioperative care on perioperative outcomes in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with advanced HCC who underwent TACE and received either standard perioperative care...
Importance: Back pain is among the most common, disabling, and costly conditions managed in primary care in the US, but current treatment options often do not provide adequate relief. Mindfulness-based interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP); however, mindfulness remains underused in part because it is not integrated into most outpatient...
Elite swimmers are exposed to sustained high training loads, early-morning sessions, and restricted recovery opportunities, all of which may increase psychological strain and compromise sleep. This study examined the effects of an 8-week Mindfulness-Acceptance-Insight-Commitment (MAIC) program, embedded within routine high-load training, on athlete-specific psychological stress, subjective...
Background: Patients with diabetes often experience significant psychological distress, contributing to poor diabetes self-management and complications. Meditation may reduce psychological distress, but most meditation interventions have been lengthy and burdensome to both participants and interventionists. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preliminary effects of a 4-week...
In an increasingly fast-paced and demanding world, stress has become a common feature of modern life. From workplace pressure to personal responsibilities, individuals constantly grapple with mental and emotional strain. Amid various strategies for managing stress, meditation and contemplative practices have emerged as powerful tools. These ancient practices offer a path not only to relaxation...
Meditation is quintessentially associated with a clear mind. This paper proposes that diverse findings in the science of meditation can be mapped onto a single, empirically tractable construct: functional signal-to-noise ratio in the brain, or f-SNR. Signal denotes neural variance that tracks the goal-relevant causes of sensory input, while noise denotes residual activity, including irrelevant...

Este artigo investiga a perceção de professores do 1.º ciclo cujos alunos com Perturbação de Hiperatividade e Défice de Atenção (PHDA) participaram em programas de mindfulness implementados no contexto escolar. Através de uma abordagem mista — que integrou um questionário aplicado a 138 docentes e um focus group — foram analisados diferentes domínios de perceção relacionados com atenção,...

Background. The combination of meditation and EEG neurofeedback has gained attention as a nonpharmacological approach for emotion regulation, stress reduction, and cognitive enhancement. Methods. This systematic review, registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024554716) and conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, aimed to map methodologies, protocols, and evidence on these combined interventions....
This case study examined differences in the temporal dynamics of EEG indices as a function of meditation expertise using a quantitative analytic framework. EEG was recorded and analyzed across multiple sessions over three days during prolonged Samatha meditation in two meditation novices and two expert meditators. Alpha-band power, beta-band power, and peak alpha frequency were extracted in...
The mass evacuation of Israeli residents from conflict zones after the events of October 7, 2023, coupled with ongoing security threats, has taken a substantial psychological toll, with many individuals exhibiting symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and sleep problems. This pilot study examined the feasibility and preliminary within-group changes associated with...
Transcendental meditation (TM) is broadly trained mind-body intervention for its prospective benefits on physical and mental health. However, evidence exploring its effects on brain connectivity and cognitive performance remains inadequate. This research aimed to evaluate the influence of TM on EEG functional connectivity and audiovisual reaction time in healthy adults. This prospective single...
Sustainable psychological and consciousness-based transformation requires an integrative framework capable of accounting for emotional memory, psychophysiological regulation, embodied experience, and the expanded dimensions of consciousness described in quantum theory.Contemporary psychological and somatic approaches often address these layers in isolation, while models of consciousness...
