Summary

This study looked at whether mindfulness meditation can change brain chemistry in areas linked to memory. Thirty female speech therapy students were split into two groups: one did mindfulness training, the other did muscle relaxation. Over 6 weeks, researchers measured brain metabolism using MRI scans and tested memory and metamemory (knowing what you know). The goal was to see if mindfulness affects brain function and memory performance.
