Immediate effects of short-term meditation on sensorimotor rhythm-based brain–computer interface performance
INTRODUCTION: Meditation has been shown to enhance a user’s ability to control a sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)-based brain-computer interface (BCI). For example, prior work have demonstrated that long-term meditation practices and an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training have positiv...

description | INTRODUCTION: Meditation has been shown to enhance a user’s ability to control a sensorimotor rhythm (SMR)-based brain-computer interface (BCI). For example, prior work have demonstrated that long-term meditation practices and an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) training have positive behavioral and neurophysiological effects on SMR-based BCI. However, the effects of short-term meditation practice on SMR-based BCI control are still unknown. METHODS: In this study, we investigated the immediate effects of a short, 20-minute meditation on SMR-based BCI control. Thirty-seven subjects performed several runs of one-dimensional cursor control tasks before and after two types of 20-minute interventions: a guided mindfulness meditation exercise and a recording of a narrator reading a journal article. RESULTS: We found that there is no significant change in BCI performance and Electroencephalography (EEG) BCI control signal following either 20-minute intervention. Moreover, the change in BCI performance between the meditation group and the control group was found to be not significant. DISCUSSION: The present results suggest that a longer period of meditation is needed to improve SMR-based BCI control. |
