Meditation Research

Since the beginning of the new millenium the interest in the scientific exploration of meditation practices - in particular those of buddhist descent - has been increasing dramatically. Every few weeks a new study appears, contributing to our ever-growing scientific understanding of the processes involved in regular meditation practice as well as its enduring effects, physiological as well as psychological.

On the background of these exciting developments, the aim of these webpages is to provide a one-stop resource about the science of meditation.

We are currently recruiting for an online survey investigating the relationship between meditation/mindfulness, eating attitudes, emotions and how we think. Everybody who completes this survey may opt to be entered to a prize draw to win a maximum of £100 (or equivalent US dollars) in Amazon e-vouchers.
