ROV PODCAST 11: How Does Meditation Boost Cognitive Function?  Kevin and Stephen talk about how the brain can get bogged down in stress and the countless tasks of life and lose touch with its ability to consciously focus attention, let go, and connect to expansive awareness. They share the findings of Muse co-founder Ariel Garten and neuroscientists Sara Lazar and Jill Bolte Taylor who describe the powerful effects of meditation practice on brain function. These include, increased PFC activation with sustained focus; the ability to notice and let go of thoughts; decreased amygdala activity related to noticing and letting go of fear reactions; increased insula activity related to interoception; increased grey matter associated with increased neural connectivity across the brain; increased temporal-parietal activity related to ability to take perspective and empathy; and decreased DMN activity related to lower self focus and rumination.
