Studying the default mode and its mindfulness-induced changes using EEG functional connectivity
Open accessAbstract
The default mode network (DMN) has been largely studied by imaging, but not yet by neurodynamics, using electroencephalography (EEG) functional connectivity (FC). mindfulness meditation (MM), a receptive, non-elaborative training is theorized to lower DMN activity. We explored: (i) the usefulness of EEG-FC for investigating the DMN and (ii) the MM-induced EEG-FC effects. To this end, three MM groups were compared with controls, employing EEG-FC (-MPC, mean phase coherence). Our results show that: (i) DMN activity was identified as reduced overall inter-hemispheric gamma MPC during the transition from resting state to a time production task and (ii) MM-induced a state increase in alpha MPC as well as a trait decrease in EEG-FC. The MM-induced EEG-FC decrease was irrespective of expertise or band. Specifically, there was a relative reduction in right theta MPC, and left alpha and gamma MPC. The left gamma MPC was negatively correlated with MM expertise, possibly related to lower internal verbalization. The trait lower gamma MPC supports the notion of MM-induced reduction in DMN activity, related with self-reference and mind-wandering. This report emphasizes the possibility of studying the DMN using EEG-FC as well as the importance of studying meditation in relation to it.

Previous breathing training studies reported gamma connectivity decreases in the left frontal area.
“Previous breathing training studies also reported the gamma connectivity decreases in the left frontal area (Berkovich-Ohana et al., 2014;Lehmann et al., 2012).”
From Frontal Electroencephalography Asymmetry and Desynchronized Functional Connectivity Associated with Long-Term and Short-Term Breathing Training (2026) · cites this paper as Berkovich-Ohana et al., 2014
The Gamma band section reports lower gamma functional connectivity in long-term mindfulness meditators than in controls, especially in the left hemisphere. It does not localize that decrease specifically to the left frontal area or identify breathing training as the intervention. The reported decrease is a resting-state trait difference, not a decrease observed during training. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredBreathing training practitioners had lower self-reference and mind-wandering, which were desirable outcomes of breathing training.
“A proposed reason for the phenomenon was that breathing training practitioners had lower self-reference and mind-wandering (Berkovich-Ohana et al., 2014), which were desirable outcomes of breathing training.”
From Frontal Electroencephalography Asymmetry and Desynchronized Functional Connectivity Associated with Long-Term and Short-Term Breathing Training (2026) · cites this paper as Berkovich-Ohana et al., 2014
The Gamma band section reports lower resting-state EEG connectivity in long-term mindfulness meditators than in controls and interprets it as possibly indicating less self-reference and mind-wandering. The Methods identify the participants as Theravada mindfulness practitioners, not breathing-training practitioners; the psychological outcomes were inferred from EEG rather than directly established. The claim therefore changes the training type and states a tentative interpretation as a finding. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
