Hemodynamic Responses on Prefrontal Cortex Related to Meditation and Attentional Task

Recent neuroimaging studies state that meditation increases regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The present study employed functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to evaluate the relative hemodynamic changes in prefrontal cortex during a cognitive task. Twenty-t...
