This document discusses a study conducted by neuroscientist Andrew Newberg exploring the effects of meditation on brain activity. The study found increased activity in the prefrontal cortex and decreased activity in the parietal lobe when meditating. This suggests meditation may provide benefits such as reducing stress and anxiety by quieting brain activity associated with self-awareness and sensory processing.
