This study shows that high-precision neurofeedback-guided meditation training improves disengagement from mental activity and enhances emotional well-being in novice meditators.

This pilot study uses 7 Tesla fMRI to show that focused attention meditation reduces Default-mode network activity and increases mindfulness scores.

The paper investigates how environmental volatility affects learning and brain organization, finding asymmetric behavioral and neural adaptations when transitioning from volatile to stable environments.

This study finds that mindfulness meditation alters neural activity patterns during working memory tasks, leading to improved performance and different distribution of P300 and alpha activity.

The paper compares neural activity patterns between mindfulness meditators and controls during a response inhibition task, finding altered distributions of attention-related markers.

This study finds no differences in EEG measures of error processing between mindfulness meditators and controls, despite prior conflicting results.

The paper describes a repository of fMRI data assessing inter-individual differences in default mode network activity and reports technical validation of the dataset.
