Psychologists
studying the effects of a meditation technique known as “mindfulness” found
that meditation-trained participants showed a significant improvement in their
critical cognitive skills (and performed significantly higher in cognitive
tests than a control group) after only four days of training for only 20
minutes each day.
“In
the behavioural test results, what we are seeing is something that is somewhat
comparable to results that have been documented after far more extensive
training,” said Fadel Zeidan, a postdoctoral researcher at Wake Forest
University School of Medicine, and a former doctoral student at the University of North Carolina Charlotte
“Simply stated, the profound improvements that we found after just 4 days of meditation training are really surprising”.
