Mindfulness meditation has grown in popularity as a tool for managing stress and improving emotional well-being.

It involves maintaining focused, non-judgmental awareness of the present moment.

Previous studies have linked mindfulness to various benefits, but researchers are keen to understand the underlying neural mechanisms.

Using advanced electroencephalography ( EEG ) techniques, the study found meditators demonstrated differences in brain wave activity across theta, alpha, and gamma frequency bands.

Gamma activity linked to higher-order cognitive functions and neural integration was also higher in meditators.

The increase was particularly pronounced in frontal regions.

Gamma waves are thought to play a role in attention and the integration of sensory information, suggesting that meditation might strengthen these capacities over time.
