This paper presents the practice of designing mediation technologies as artistic tools to expand the creative repertoire to promote contemplative cultural practice. Three art–science collaborations—Mandala, Imagining the Universe, and Resonance of the Heart—are elaborated on as proof-of-concept case studies. Scientifically, the empirical research examines the mappings from (bodily) action to...
In the latest years information technologies have impacted society changing the way human beings learn, and because of that it is necessary to study the intimate relationship between humans and their technological tools.

Human cognition is not limited to the processing of events in the external environment, and the covert nature of certain aspects of the stream of consciousness (e.g. experiences such as mind-wandering) provides a methodological challenge.

Neuronal interactions coupled by phase synchronization have been studied in a wide range of frequency bands, but fluctuations below the delta frequency have often been neglected. In the present study, phase synchrony in slow cortical potentials (SCPs, 0.01-0.1 Hz) was examined during two different mental states; a resting state and a breath-focused mindfulness meditation. SCP phase synchrony in...
