The paper shows that targeted artifact cleaning in EEG improves signal preservation and reduces effect size inflation and source localization biases compared to traditional methods.

This meta-analysis examines attrition rates in mindfulness-based interventions for chronic pain and identifies factors like completion thresholds, delivery method, and session format that influence participant withdrawal.

This study examines neural differences in conflict monitoring and attention between meditators and non-meditators using ERP measurements, finding enhanced N2 responses in meditators during hard Nogo trials.

RELAX-Jr is an automated EEG pre-processing pipeline designed for children's data, showing strong cleaning performance across multiple metrics compared to existing pipelines.

This study compares neural oscillations and 1/f activity between meditators and non-meditators using EEG, finding differences in theta, alpha, and gamma power after controlling for non-oscillatory activity.

This study finds that experienced meditators have stronger forward traveling cortical alpha waves and weaker backward traveling alpha waves compared to non-meditators during rest and a cognitive task.

The paper analyzes EEG data from meditators and non-meditators to identify time-series features that distinguish meditators, finding higher temporal stability in a specific EEG component.

This study uses TMS-EEG to show that mindfulness meditators have altered excitation/inhibition balance in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex compared to controls.

This study finds increased delta and theta oscillatory power in OCD patients compared to controls but no significant differences in connectivity measures.

This study examines ERP differences in OCD patients compared to healthy controls, finding altered frontal brain activity across multiple tasks but no link to symptom severity.

RELAX is an automated EEG preprocessing pipeline that effectively reduces artifacts while preserving neural signals, outperforming existing methods in blink and muscle artifact removal.

This paper evaluates the RELAX pipeline for cleaning EEG data before ERP analysis, finding it effective and reliable for artifact reduction and ERP estimation.

The paper investigates whether experienced meditators show differences in neural activity related to performance monitoring and error-processing using EEG, finding larger global field potentials in the Pe for meditators but with mixed statistical significance.

This study investigates GABA-mediated cortical inhibition in adults with ASD using TMS-EEG and finds no group differences in N100 amplitude or latency, or in long interval cortical inhibition.
