![]() ![]() Spectrum analysis showed a significant increase of theta power (Fz: t = −3.356 p = 0.002 Pz: t = −5.199 p < 0.001) and decrease of heart rate between pre- and post-resting tasks ( t = 4.092, p < 0.001). EEG data were preprossessed and analyzed by EEGlab. A self-report evaluation was conducted to repeatedly record the comprehensive performance of mind and body in each session. Two sets of single-channel wearable EEG devices were used to collect EEG data (placed at Fz and Pz) and heart rate simultaneously. A Buddhist monk practitioner was recruited to complete one 10-min LKM practice, in between two 10-min resting tasks (pre- and post-resting) per experimental run. ![]() This study aimed to investigate LKM from varied aspects and interactions between the brain, the heart, and psychological measurements. However, the neural characters and underlying mechanisms have not yet been fully illustrated, which has hindered its practical usefulness. Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM) is an efficient mental practice with a long history that has recently attracted interest in the fields of neuroscience, medicine and education.
