Abstract
⺠We examined expert and novice meditators's BOLD reponse before, and during, pain. ⺠Expert meditators reported less unpleasantness than novices. ⺠This difference was associated with enhanced BOLD activity in the salience network. ⺠Experts had also less BOLD activity before pain in the salience network. ⺠Experts had faster habituation of BOLD response to pain in pain-related brain areas.
