Vipassana Attentional Blink Study
A new study, with a synopsis available here, has found that after 3 months of intense Vipassana meditation training (10-12 hours each day) practitioners participating in the “attentional blink” test showed substantially improved detection of the second target in the test. 16 out of 23 of the novice group, who were given a one hour meditation training course and who meditated 20 minutes once a day in the week prior to the testing showed a similar but less profound improvement.
