Effects of mindfulness meditation training on anticipatory alpha modulation in primary somatosensory cortex

Highlights ► Mindfulness meditation training is associated with improved attentional processing. ► We examined whether 8-weeks of MM training enhances attentional modulation of alpha rhythms in SI. ► After training, MM modulation of alpha rhythms up or down in response to a somatic attentional cue w...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights ► Mindfulness meditation training is associated with improved attentional processing. ► We examined whether 8-weeks of MM training enhances attentional modulation of alpha rhythms in SI. ► After training, MM modulation of alpha rhythms up or down in response to a somatic attentional cue was faster and greater than the control group and the MM pre-training baseline.
