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 thickness in parts of the brain associated with attention and sensory processing. Specifically, regular meditation was found to be linked to increased cortical thickness in the hippocampus, which governs learning and memory, and in certain areas of the cerebral cortex which are involved in attention and sensory processing.
