| 摘要 | Since different meditation methods may activate different regions in brain. In this study we chose a basic meditation type that just practiced the breath with the phrase that contained nine words, and the first word was matched with inhaling and following the next with exhaling alternately during the meditation period. Blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) based fMRI were used to examine the brain functions. Experiments showed brain activation areas on the region of thalamus, anterior cingulate, posterior cingulate, middle temporal gyrus, as well as putamen and other activations. It displayed that meditation practice concerned with cognitive functions, however, hypothalamus could be activated during meditation practice, and that might be related with endocrine secretion. But it requires further researches combined BOLD-and CBF-based fMRI technique and physiological signal detection simultaneously to explore the mechanism of meditation. |
