Mindfulness and meditation - Meditation and Brain Connectivity: A Path to Mental Clarity

Meditation is Associated with Increased Brain Network Integration explores how mindfulness meditation enhances brain connectivity. 

In this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and his colleagues discuss their EEG-based study comparing novice and experienced meditators. Their findings reveal that experienced meditators exhibit significantly higher brain network integration in the alpha frequency band, suggesting improved information exchange between brain regions. These results provide key insights into how meditation may foster cognitive resilience and enhance mental well-being. Join us as we break down the neuroscience behind meditation and its transformative effects on the brain.
