Sustained Attention in Focused Attention Versus Open Monitoring Meditation - Behavioral and Neurophysiological Changes

Two meditations were observed in our study (N=104): Focused Attention, holding focus on an object, and Open Monitoring, a moment-to-moment awareness of experience. We analyzed differences between these practices regarding error negativity and positivity, during the Sustained Attention to Response Task - measuring the ability to self-sustain processing of stimuli.
