Meditation changes brain activity in measurable ways, and one of the most common tools used to study it is electroencephalography (EEG). EEG allows researchers to observe patterns of brainwave activity—delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma—and how these frequencies shift during focus, relaxation, sleep, deep meditation,…
