Mindfulness Meditators Show Enhanced Accuracy and Different Neural Activity During Working Memory

ConclusionsResults suggest that increased WM performance in mindfulness meditators might not result from higher amplitudes of typical WM activity, but instead from an alternative pattern of brain region engagement during WM decision making, allowing more accurate responses with less neural activation (perhaps reflecting increased neural efficiency).
