Article Synopsis
- Short mindfulness-based interventions can improve well-being and may lead to lasting changes, but research on their brain effects is limited.
- The study compared brain connectivity in experienced Buddhist meditators to novices, finding distinct neural patterns linked to meditation expertise during both meditation and resting states.
- Results showed that experts have better integration of brain networks, helping them maintain emotional distance and demonstrating the cognitive benefits of prolonged meditation practice.
The visual system needs to dynamically adapt to changing environments. Much is known about the adaptive effects of constant stimulation over prolonged periods. However, there are open questions regarding adaptation to stimuli that are changing over time, interrupted, or repeated.

Although much has been gleaned from studying how V1 responds to discrepant () images, equally important is to understand how V1 responds to concordant () images in the two eyes. Here, we investigated the extent to which concordant, balanced, zero-disparity binocular stimulation modifies V1 responses to varying stimulus contrast using intracranial multielectrode arrays.
