A recent study published in Frontiers in Psychology sheds light on the distinct neural correlates of two primary types of meditation — concentrative and analytical — using electroencephalography (EEG). The researchers found that these meditative practices result in different patterns of brain activity, providing insights into how meditation affects cognitive and emotional regulation. This study involved monks from the Sera Jey Monastery in India, offering a unique glimpse into the neurophysiological effects of long-term meditation practice. The researchers aimed to investigate how different fo...

This enhancement appears to be mediated by changes in the brain’s organizational patterns. Open monitoring meditation is a type of meditation that emphasizes the broad, non-reactive awareness of the content of experience from moment to moment. Unlike focused attention medi...
