The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of meditation on the brain. Researchers found that meditating for 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks can increase the brain's gray matter in regions linked to memory, sense of self, empathy and stress. Specifically, regular meditation was found to make the cerebral cortex thicker, which is the brain's outermost layer that plays a key role in self-awareness, compassion and attention.
