چکیده

In this study, participants with self-reported anxiety were taught meditation practices over the course of 8 weekly sessions in order to instill habits to improve their anxiety. Previous studies suggest an increase in alpha and theta band power in individuals relaxed and with their eyes closed. However, this has not been shown using a mobile wireless electroencephalographic (EEG) system suitable for home and clinic use. We use such a system in this intervention study, focusing on alpha and theta power during experiences with mindfulness meditation.
