The latest neuroscience imaging shows advanced meditators dramatically increase synchronised gamma wave activity in the brain compared to novice meditators.
Previous research showed that alpha wave patterns were associated with states of mental relaxation and calm meditation. Now using both EEG (electroencephalogram) and fMRI ( functional magnetic resonance) imaging, neuroscientists have shown this new dramatically different wave pattern. The meditators in this study were asked to concentrate on compassion and open prescence.
