Zap your way to zen: brain stimulation may unlock deep meditation in minutes

NCT ID NCT06601686

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help people quickly achieve a deep meditative state, normally only reached after years of training. About 22 healthy adults who already meditate will wear an EEG cap and receive brain stimulation while performing a guided meditation task. Researchers will measure changes in brain activity and self-reported feelings of detachment from thoughts, aiming to see if this approach can boost openness and wellbeing.
