Document Summary
Predicted dmn would be active during mind wandering, and task-positive would be active during other three stages. 14 participants, assessed meditation experience to estimate lifetime practice hours and ensure familiarity with breath-focus meditation: meditation task. Estimate that time between awareness and button press was less than one second. Also did motor control task and collected respiration data to see other effects: correlations with meditation experience. 5 people had high practice (>2000 hours), other 9 had low practice (<1200 hours) Number of button presses did not significantly correlate with practice time nor differ between high and low practice groups. Low number of subjects may have had an effect. How sure how the ability to detect mind wandering and amount of mind wandering itself changes with meditation practices: physiological data. Hours of practice did not correlate with respiration rate, nor was it different between the high and low practice groups.
