Network neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.) – January 01, 2025
Summary
Advanced meditation reveals fascinating insights into consciousness. A study using 7-T fMRI analyzed a seasoned meditator during deep absorption practices. It identified three distinct dynamic brain states: heightened connectivity, reduced physical sensation, and increased self-awareness, showcasing how advanced meditators navigate altered states effectively.
Abstract
Advanced meditation consists of states and stages of practice that unfold with mastery and time. Dynamic functional connectivity (DFC) analysis of ...
