Digital Medicine in Meditation (DigMed2)
12. marts 2014 opdateret af: Scripps Translational Science Institute
This study will investigate the acute response to meditation during a week-long meditation retreat at the Chopra Center as measured by the continuous, simultaneous monitoring of numerous biometric parameters in selected cohorts of experienced and novice meditators during periods of meditation and specific breathing techniques.
Comparisons between cohorts as well as over time will allow for the identification of meditation and/or breathing-related changes.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
The biometric responses to meditation and breathing techniques will be compared between novice and experienced meditators, as well as initial versus final biometric responses in all participants stratified by cohort.
Investigators hypothesize that novice meditators will experience a measurable change in response to mediation over the week-long retreat, whereas experienced meditators will demonstrate a more robust response than novice meditators on the first day of the retreat with less change over the retreat.
