dc.description.abstract | Objectives: Previous literature suggests that cross-frequency phase synchronization is a mechanism by which information is transmitted and coordinated in the brain. Since cross-frequency phase synchronization is only strictly possible when two oscillators form a harmonic frequency ratio (e.g., 2:1, 3:1), a recent theory posited that interactions between brain oscillations at different frequencies are facilitated/hindered by the transient occurrence of harmonic/non-harmonic cross-frequency arrangements. In this line, recent evidence has shown that 2:1 harmonic relationships between alpha (8–14 Hz) and theta (4–8 Hz) rhythms are reduced during meditative states in experienced practitioners. In the present study, we investigated whether mindfulness training in novices is associated with longitudinal changes in alpha-theta cross-frequency dynamics during meditation practice. Methods: Thirty-six participants (mean age = 30.3; 2 men) underwent an 8-week mindfulness training program based on the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) syllabus and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings (64 electrodes) were performed during a guided meditation before and after the training. Results: Mindfulness training compliance (quantified by minutes of attendance and practice at home) was significantly correlated to decreased 3:1 harmonicity and cross-frequency phase synchrony between alpha and theta rhythms during meditation. Conclusions: Mindfulness training in novices was shown to be associated with a reduction in alpha-theta cross-frequency coupling during meditation. EEG parameters based on alpha-theta cross-frequency dynamics may be adequate for quantifying and/or facilitating mindfulness meditation training. | en_US |
