Journal ArticleDOI
Attention regulation and monitoring in meditation
TL;DR: Meditation can be conceptualized as a family of complex emotional and attentional regulatory training regimes developed for various ends, including the cultivation of well-being and emotional balance, which could have a long-term impact on the brain and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice
TL;DR: It is found that long-term Buddhist practitioners self-induce sustained electroencephalographic high-amplitude gamma-band oscillations and phase-synchrony during meditation, suggesting that mental training involves temporal integrative mechanisms and may induce short-term and long- term neural changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Hilbert transform and wavelet methods for the analysis of neuronal synchrony
Michel Le Van Quyen,Jack R. Foucher,Jean-Philippe Lachaux,Eugenio Rodríguez,Antoine Lutz,Jacques Martinerie,Francisco J. Varela +6 more
TL;DR: A direct comparison between these two methods for quantification of phase synchrony between neuronal signals on three signal sets is conducted, and it is concluded that they are fundamentally equivalent for the study of neuroelectrical signals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural correlates of attentional expertise in long-term meditation practitioners
Julie A. Brefczynski-Lewis,Antoine Lutz,Hillary S. Schaefer,Daniel B. Levinson,Richard J. Davidson +4 more
TL;DR: In age-matched participants, using functional MRI, it was found that activation in a network of brain regions typically involved in sustained attention showed an inverted u-shaped curve in which expert meditators (EMs) with an average of 19,000 h of practice had more activation than novices, but EMs with anAverage of 44,000H had less activation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of the Neural Circuitry of Emotion by Compassion Meditation: Effects of Meditative Expertise
TL;DR: Data indicate that the mental expertise to cultivate positive emotion alters the activation of circuitries previously linked to empathy and theory of mind in response to emotional stimuli.
