Research into the similarities and differences between various forms of meditation practice is still in its early stages. Here, utilizing functional connectivity and graph measures, we present our work examining three meditation traditions: Himalayan Yoga (HT), Isha Shoonya (SNY), and Vipassana (VIP). EEG activity of the meditative block is used to...

In this study, we examined EEG analysis techniques across a variety of meditation traditions in order to identify reliable metrics that could be applied in meditation research, revealing how each tradition interprets eeg signals distinctly. The study’s potential is in its future neurotechnological innovations, to increase usage of meditation (by en...

Recent developments in neurotechnology effectively utilize the decades of neuroscientific findings of multiple meditation techniques. Meditation is linked to higher-order cognitive processes, which may function as a scaffold for cognitive control. In line with these developments, we analyze oscillatory brain activities of expert and non-expert medi...

The brain is said to be asymmetrical when the two hemispheres are distinct from each other, structurally or functionally. Asymmetries are correlated with lateralized behavioral and functional features such as language, motor preferences, spatial and emotional processing, etc. It’s unclear how much and to which hemisphere inter-intra individual vari...
