While many studies have shown that meditation enhances attentional processing, very few studies have investigated the effect of enhanced attentional processing on visual awareness. We investigate the attentional effects on visual awareness in focused attention meditators using a task that manipulates scope of attention using hierarchical letter stimuli (local and global processing) and single letter...
Previous researchers have studied meditation practices as a means to understand consciousness as well as altered states of consciousness. Various meditation techniques, such as Transcendental Meditation (TM) and Qigong, have been explored with source localization tools; however, the concentrative meditation technique has yet to be fully studied in this manner. The current study demonstrates findings,...
Recent neuroimaging studies have shown consistent neural correlates of meditation states and traits. These studies present important implications for understanding core brain systems, also for clinical applications. In our fMRI study, we investigate neural correlates of both concentrative and mindfulness-based meditation forms, in long-term meditators (Buddhist monks). We found selective activation...
