Buddhist monks visit Neurocognition of Language Lab
A group of Buddhist monks who visited the TC lab to participate in some
experiments a couple of years ago. They performed a simple auditory
processing task before, during and after meditation, to see if there
were effects on the EEG of entering a meditative state. There were
significant effects. Much greater coherence in activation across
different brain sites was clearly evident during meditation, and higher
coherence persisted even after meditation ended.
