Effect of meditation on attentional network task performance

By Pratibha Singh

Meditation can be conceptualized as a group of complex emotional and attentional executive practices, in which mental and related somatic events are influenced by connecting with a particular attentional set. Innumerable electroencephalographic and neuro-imaging researches have uncovered the significance of exploring states and attributes identified with meditation to accomplish an expanded comprehension of intellectual and full of emotion, neuroplasticity, attention and mindfulness, just as for their conceivable clinical ramifications (Cahn &Polich 2006; Lutz et al. 2008a). The guideline of attention is a focal element of various meditation techniques (Davidson &Goleman 1977), and meditation practices can be conveniently arranged into two primary forms i.e. focused attention (FA) and open monitoring (OM)- contingent upon how the attentional system are coordinated (Cahn&Polich 2006; Lutz et al. 2008a). In the FA ('concentrative') style, attention is centeredaround a given article in a supported way. The subsequent style, OM ('mindfulness based') meditation, includes the non-responsive monitoring of the substance of progressing experience, fundamentally as a way to turn out to be brilliantly mindful of the idea of emotional and psychological examples. Mindfulness alludes to a ready and open method of seeing and checking all psychological substance from one second to another, including insights, sensations, perceptions and affects (Kabat-Zinn 2003).
