| Abstract | ||
The age-old practice of meditation and deep breathing, traditionally found and followed by the people in South-east Asia, has gathered attraction all over the world. Despite many researchers investigating this practice and its benefits, only recently have the neurophysiological studies been able to highlight the nuances of its effects. The present article is a review of literature on meditation and deep breathing. The focus is also on the cognitive aspects, mainly the attentional processes, which are influenced by this practice. |
