Research

Meditation

& effects on

the brain

  1. Evidence supports the efficacy of week-long or month-long physical exercise or mindfulness meditation programs in mitigating ADHD symptoms (Cornelius et al, 2017; Chimiklis et al, 2018; Vekety et al, 2021)

  2. Meditation has been shown to improve oxygenation and activity in the prefrontal cortex, enhancing its functionality. A study using near-infrared spectroscopy found that meditation increases oxygenation in this region, which is crucial for executive function, decision-making, and emotional regulation. - Cureus Journal of Medical Science (2022)​

  3. Research suggests that mindfulness meditation can enhance attention and focus by activating brain areas associated with the attention network, such as the anterior cingulate cortex, and may influence dopamine levels, thereby improving attentional control.
    - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2007)

  4. Meditation can significantly influence the autonomic nervous system by enhancing heart rate variability and altering the balance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems, promoting relaxation and reducing stress responses.
