A study published in 2005 found that participants who practiced meditation regularly had increased cortical thickness in parts of the brain associated with attention, sensory processing, and memory. Brain scans of experienced meditators showed their practice was associated with changes in grey matter in regions involved in learning and memory, emotion regulation, and self-awareness. Regular meditation may help people train their brain and improve functions like focus, self-control, and emotional processing.
