Changing your mind“We can train our brains – and our selves – to be more attentive, more compassionate, and even happier.” This is the conclusion of Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist who studies meditation and neuroplasticity at the University of Wisconsin. Using dense array EEG from EGI, Davidson’s lab has shown that meditation can increase electrical activity in parts of the brain related to empathy, attention and mind-body interaction. At a talk at the Second World Congress on Positive Psychology in Philadelphia last month, Davidson discussed changes in the brain by people taught to meditate. |
