Purpose of the study: To understand how different environments affect meditation.
Study activities: This is a 4-week study, and participants will attend one session per week for four consecutive weeks at a recurring timeslot. Each session will take place at the Contemplative Commons and will last 60-75 minutes (not to exceed 90 minutes). Participants will be guided through a 24-minute meditation practice while wearing portable electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG) devices, complete surveys, and may be selected to complete interviews about their experience.
