Dr. Judson Brewer and his team explore the correlation between meditation and the activity in the brain’s default mode network (the primary brain network activated during times of mind-wandering, self-referential processing, and unhappiness). They find that the main nodes of the default-mode network (medial prefrontal and posterior cingulate cortices) are relatively deactivated in experienced meditators.

Meditation and DMN Activity- Judson Brewer

Dr. Gary Weber explores the Default Mode Network and other neural phenomena when the brain is meditating, and on psychedelics. He finds that many of the effects on the brain are similar and further explores the concepts of non-duality.

The researchers test whether an EEG would indicate activity in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) when their study subjects self-reported effortless awareness and whether the subjects are able to control the signal.

The researchers use EEG to measure whether meditation increases brain network connectivity.

Meditation is associated with increased brain network integration- van Lutterveld

With modern technology, we are now able to see how brain activity is altered in meditators.
