The Effects of Meditation on the Neuroscience of Consciousness

Record summary

This research tradition, associated with the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Center for Investigating Healthy Minds, examines meditation, attention, emotion regulation, and altered or transformed states using behavioral and neurophysiological methods. It matters for comparison because subjective reports sometimes resemble claims made in psi and mystical-experience literature, while the experimental framing remains conventional. The lead should be anchored to a specific review or experiment, such as work by Richard Davidson, Antoine Lutz, and colleagues, and should not be read as evidence for extrasensory perception.
