Brain wave stimulation may improve Alzheimer’s symptoms
Noninvasive treatment improves memory and reduces amyloid plaques in mice.
A non-invasive treatment of light and sound to increase brain waves known as gamma oscillations led to improvements in cognition and memory and a dramatic reduction in amyloid beta plaques in mice. Some forms of meditation also increase gamma waves.

Brain wave stimulation may improve Alzheimer’s symptoms
By exposing mice to a unique combination of light and sound, MIT neuroscientists have shown they can improve cognitive and memory impairments similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s patients.
Seven-year follow-up shows lasting cognitive gains from meditation
Gains in the ability to sustain attention developed through intensive meditation training are maintained up to seven years later, according to a new study published in the Journal of Cognitive Enhancement.

Exploring the Role of Meditation and Dispositional Mindfulness on Social Cognition Domains: A Controlled Study
Research suggests that mindfulness can induce changes in the social domain, such as enhancing emotional connection to others, prosocial behavior, and empathy.
…comparisons showed statistically significant differences between meditators and non-meditators for social cognition measures
Meditators scored significantly higher on empathy subscales.
In relation to emotional recognition, meditators scored significantly higher than non-meditators,
meditators demonstrated better performance in the Hinting Task versus non-meditators.
For attributional style, meditators scored statistically lower than non-meditators, revealing lower hostility bias , intentionality bias , blame , anger bias and aggressivity bias .
