Meditation training increases brain efficiency in an attention task

► An fMRI adapted Stroop Word-Color Task (an attention task) was applied in two groups. ► Non-meditators showed greater brain activity than meditators in the comparisons. ► No brain regions were more activated in meditators relative to non-meditators. ► Behavioural performance was equivalent in both groups. ► Meditation training can increase brain efficiency in attention and impulse control.
