Meditation Study

Purpose: Can Meditation over one week improve interoception and intuitive eating behavior?


  • Question: What is the relationship between meditation, interoception, and our eating behavior?

  • Your Time Commitment: 2 days, each a week apart, appointments lasting duration is approximately 60 minutes

  • Benefits: Meditation is thought to increase our self-awareness and the sensations we experience, ie: our breath, heart rate, and hunger and fullness.

  • Risks: blood collection (just a finger prick) may produce a bruise

  • We use the latest technology in neuroimaging, Functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure the recruitment of brain regions during meditation.
