刚开始冥想的人经常抱怨说，他们不知道自己是否“做对了”，或者在实现重大利益之前就放弃了。高级冥想者经常会达到一个平台，并努力达到他们练习的“下一个层次”。现代研究人员和从业者正在寻找一种可能的新解决方案，通过使用EEG生物反馈来提高对意识微妙状态的认识并加快学习过程。通过跟踪大脑特定区域的脑电波活动，我们可以判断一个人是专注还是放松。我们可以分辨出他们的思想是否在游荡，他们是否参与了基于身体的情感，或者他们是否进入了一个内部安静的空间。通过监测这种活动并将其直接与冥想的意图联系起来，可以帮助冥想者学习快速进入所需的意识状态，并在更长的时间内保持这种状态。本章将描述在这一领域进行的早期研究，沿着作者进行的原始案例研究。此外，作者将描述这项技术被用作ADHD，焦虑，抑郁和PTSD的治疗干预的方式。
Beginning meditators often complain that they do not know if they are “doing it right” or give up before realizing significant benefits. Advanced meditators often reach a plateau and struggle to reach “the next level” of their practice. Modern researchers and practitioners are finding a possible new solution to these challenges by using EEG biofeedback to increase awareness of subtle states of consciousness and speed the learning process. By tracking brainwave activity in specific regions of the brain, we can tell if someone is focused or relaxed. We can tell if the mind is wandering, if they are engaged in body-based emotions, or if they have entered a space of internal quiet. By monitoring this activity and connecting it directly to the intent of the meditation, it is possible to help meditators learn to quickly enter a desired state of consciousness and maintain this state for increasing periods of time. This chapter will describe the early research conducted in this area along with an original case study conducted by the author. In addition, the author will describe the way this technology is being used as a treatment intervention for ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
