来自19个头皮记录部位的脑电图（EEG）记录被用来区分两种假定的独特形式的调解，集中和正念，以及正常的放松控制条件。分析所有传统的频率带宽数据（即，δ 1-3 Hz; θ，4- 7Hz; α，8-12 Hz; β 1，13-25 Hz; β 2，26-32 Hz）在两种冥想条件下显示出强烈的平均振幅频率差异，并在许多皮层部位上放松。此外，在所有带宽的浓度和正念状态之间的显着差异。总之，我们的研究结果表明，专注和正念“冥想”可能是意识的独特形式，而不仅仅是放松状态的程度。
Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from 19 scalp recording sites were used to differentiate among two posited unique forms of mediation, concentration and mindfulness, and a normal relaxation control condition. Analyzes of all traditional frequency bandwidth data (i.e., delta 1-3 Hz; theta, 4-7 Hz; alpha, 8-12 Hz; beta 1, 13-25 Hz; beta 2, 26-32 Hz) showed strong mean amplitude frequency differences between the two meditation conditions and relaxation over numerous cortical sites. Furthermore, significant differences were obtained between concentration and mindfulness states at all bandwidths. Taken together, our results suggest that concentration and mindfulness "meditations" may be unique forms of consciousness and are not merely degrees of a state of relaxation.
