If you easily make mistakes when in a hurry, a new study from Michigan State University—the largest of its

kind to date-found that meditation (冥想) could help you improve the situation.

The research tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)—or, meditationthat focuses awareness on

feelings or thoughts as they unfold in one’s mind and body—alteredbrain activity in a way that suggested

increased error recognition.

“People’s interest in meditation is outpacing what science can prove in terms of effects and benefits.” said

Jeff Lin, MSU psychology doctoral candidate and study co-author. “But it’s amazing to me that we were able to see

how one session of a guided meditation could produce changes to brain activity in non-meditators.”

“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object, commonly your breath, but open monitoring

meditation is a bit different,” Lin said, “It has you tune inward and pay attention to everything going on in your

mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting too

caught up in the scenery.”

Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle, Ling Peng and Jason Moser—hired more than 200 participants

to test how open monitoring meditation affected how people detect and respond toerrors. The participants, who had never meditated before, were taken through a 20-minute open monitoring

meditation exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through electroencephalography (脑电图), or

EEG. Then, they completed a computerized distraction (分心) test.

“The EEG can measure brain activity at the millisecond level, so we got precise measures of brain activity

right after mistakes compared to correct responses,” Lin said. “A certain neural signal occurs about half a second

after an error called the error positivity, which is linked to conscious error recognition. We found that the strength

of this signal is increased in the meditators to controls.”

“These findings show what just 20 minutes of open monitoring meditation can do to improve the brain’s

ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,” Moser said.

4. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
