    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Science
    • Medical Technology

    Background:

    • Mindfulness interventions are gaining clinical use.
    • Neurophysiological evidence is crucial for evaluating mindfulness efficacy.
    • Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers a portable, cost-effective neuroimaging alternative to fMRI.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the feasibility of using multichannel fNIRS for studying cerebral cortex activation during a mindfulness task.
    • To compare brain activity between a mindfulness task and a baseline task using fNIRS.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected NIRS data from 14 healthy Asian subjects.
    • Utilized the NIRS_SPM toolbox for statistical analysis of NIRS signals.
    • Compared brain activation patterns between mindfulness and baseline tasks.

    Main Results:

    • Group analysis revealed significant activation foci in the left and central prefrontal cortex during the mindfulness task.
    • These results align with findings from previous fMRI studies.
    • Demonstrated the potential of fNIRS for real-time neurophysiological monitoring during mindfulness practice.

    Conclusions:

    • fNIRS is a feasible tool for investigating the neurophysiological correlates of mindfulness.
    • The study successfully identified prefrontal cortex activation associated with mindfulness.
    • fNIRS shows promise for future research on mindfulness and its clinical applications.
