OBJECTIVES
In recent years, there has been significant uptake of meditation and related relaxation techniques, as a means of alleviating stress and maintaining good health. Despite its popularity, little is known about the neural mechanisms by which meditation works, and there is a need for more rigorous investigations of the underlying neurobiology. Several electroencephalogram (EEG) studies have reported changes in spectral band frequencies during meditation inspired by techniques that focus…

This study identified the two largest groups which remained in the meditation trend originating from the Buddhist system and in the Christian-based faith, and revealed statistically significant differences in frontal areas with regard to alpha and theta, which was often indicated in previous studies.
Neural Correlates of Mindfulness Practice for Naive Meditators
- PsychologyACII
- 2011
This study investigated naive meditators' EEG activity during an eight-week MBSR program, developed easy-to-use and portable dry-sensor EEG devices, and tracked how EEG changed over time during the program, providing insight into developing a BCI system to guide meditation practice.

It is suggested that this finding is a neural correlate of the expert practitioners' ability to limit the processing of unnecessary information and increase the awareness of the essential content of the present experience.

None of the groups showed longitudinal changes in EEG, perhaps due to lack of regularity of participation in the treatment programs, but TM showed a greater reduction in neuroticism than PR and C.

Transcendental Meditation practice appears to lead to a state fundamentally different than eyes-closed rest, result in a cascade of events in the central and autonomic nervous systems, leading to a rapid change in state within a minute, and be best distinguished from other conditions through autonomic and EEG alpha coherence patterns rather than alpha power.
