Distinct patterns of directed brain connectivity in focused attention, open monitoring and loving kindness meditation: An EEG Granger causality study with long-term meditators

This study uses EEG Granger causality to compare directed brain connectivity during three meditation types, finding distinct patterns in information flow between meditation states and rest.

Neuroplasticity of directed connectivity in long-term meditation: Evidence from EEG Granger causality

This study uses EEG Granger causality to show that long-term meditation increases directed connectivity from posterior to frontal regions and between hemispheres, involving theta, alpha, and beta bands.

Differential Effects of Meditation States and Traits on the Neural Mechanisms of Pain Processing

This study examines how different meditation states and traits affect neural mechanisms of pain processing, finding state- and trait-dependent changes in cognitive/affective pain mechanisms.

Aging alters the functional connectivity of motor theta networks during sensorimotor reactions

This study examines how aging affects functional connectivity of motor theta networks during sensorimotor tasks, finding age-related reorganization in connectivity patterns.

A distributed theta network of error generation and processing in aging

This study examines how error processing in older adults affects motor theta oscillations across distributed cortical regions, revealing age-related functional disengagement of the medial frontal cortex.
