In the current hypothesis paper, we propose a novel examination of consciousness and self-
awareness through the neuro-phenomenological theoretical model known as the Sphere …

Meditation practice entails moments of distraction dominated by self‐generated thoughts (ie
mind wandering). Initial studies assessing the neural correlates of mind wandering in the …

With an increasing effort from the scientific community to quantify the effects of meditation
practices, various approaches have been used to establish neural correlates of experienced …

In this study, we examined the effect of mindfulness meditation facilitated by human-robot
interaction (HRI) on brain activity. EEG signals were collected from two groups of …

Background Shifts in peak frequencies of oscillatory neural rhythms are put forward as a
principal mechanism by which cross‐frequency coupling/decoupling is implemented in the …

Objectives Self-regulation practices, such as meditation, have been shown to influence
neural and cardiac activities, which are critical for managing stress and emotions. However …

Prior neuroimaging clinical trials investigating the neural effects of intranasal administration
of the neuropeptide oxytocin demonstrated a key role of the amygdala in oxytocin's …

Meditation, mental training that aims to improve one's ability to regulate their cognition, has
been widely applied in clinical medicine. However, the mechanism by which meditation …

Previous literature suggests that mindfulness meditation can have positive effects on mental
health, however, its mechanisms of action are still unclear. In this pre-registered study, we …
