Abstract
⺠Zen meditators report greater attentional absorption than controls. ⺠Grey matter thickness predicts subjective experience of attentional absorption. ⺠Regions associated with thinning in ADHD are thicker in participants with greater absorption. ⺠Meditators have thicker attention/executive cortices related to their training. ⺠Meditation may aid the symptoms of ADHD by bolstering cortical thickness.
