Research Project: Neurofeedback in Meditation - Jeremy Viczko, University of Victoria
Your Brain on Art is particularly meaningful to Caroline as an artist who has
experienced depression and anxiety and is eager to
understand innovative research in brain health.
Jeremy Viczko, of the University of Victoria, is researching Neurofeedback in Meditation. His study looks to explain the psychophysiological changes taking place during meditation, and hopes to discover if adding a signal to the person participating can aid in meditation. An audio queue lets them know what states their minds are in throughout the experience to explore if they are achieving certain success. This research will help us discover if there are actual changes in the mind taking place.
During meditation we allow ourselves to relax and enter a deeper level of
the mind. Sometimes this involves focusing on our breathe and other times
it can be imagining ourselves in nature. Lying at the base of this tree is
meant to be such a place. In our concrete reality, the brain knows it to be a
tree but as the meditative state deepens and we move inward, it becomes
a calming blur. It becomes a place where anxiety and depression lose their
shape. The beautiful variety of colours in the leaves represent the continual
changes taking place in our minds.
