| summary | Meditation can be defined as a form of mental training that aims to improve individual’s psychological capacities such as attentional and emotional self-regulation. Research over the past two decades broadly supports the claim that meditation, practiced widely for the reduction of stress and promotion of health, exerts beneficial effects on physical, mental health, and cognitive performance. Recent neuroimaging studies have begun to uncover the brain areas and networks that mediate these positive effects through neuroplasticity. However, the underlying fundamental mechanisms remain unclear. More studies are required to understand, describe and predict the neuronal and cognitive-behavioural changes that accompany meditation. In this context, we will discuss the potential relevance of dynamical systems and bayesian inference theories. |
