Paper Review: Source-space EEG neurofeedback links subjective experience with brain activity during effortless awareness meditation
Judson Brewer ran a study to test whether source-localized EEG neurofeedback could follow effortless awareness in novice and expert meditators.1)van Lutterveld, R., et al., Source-space EEG neurofeedback links subjective experience with brain activity during effortless awareness meditation, NeuroImage (2016), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2016.02.047 jQuery("#footnote_plugin_tooltip_5339_1").tooltip({ tip: "#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_5339_1", tipClass: "footnote_tooltip", effect: "fade", fadeOutSpeed: 100, predelay: 400, position: "top right", relative: true, offset: [10, 10] }); The EEG neurofeedback was done with the gamma-band (40-57 Hz) measuring PCC activity. Verbal probes were used to assess the correlation with subjective experience of effortless awareness. The suggests brain activity within the PCC is strongly correlated with the subjective experience of effortless awareness.
