+> To better understand how meditation influences the sensory experience, we used arterial spin labeling functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the neural mechanisms by which mindfulness meditation influences pain in healthy human participants.
+> After 4 d of mindfulness meditation training, meditating in the presence of noxious stimulation significantly reduced pain unpleasantness by 57% and pain intensity ratings by 40% when compared to rest.

+> This model proposes four intervals in a cognitive cycle: mind wandering, awareness of mind wandering, shifting of attention, and sustained attention.
+> People who train in this style of meditation cultivate their abilities to monitor cognitive processes related to attention and distraction
+
+> Analyses revealed activity in brain regions associated with the default mode during mind wandering, and in salience network regions during awareness of mind wandering.
+> Elements of the executive network were active during shifting and sustained attention.
+> Furthermore, activations during these cognitive phases were modulated by lifetime meditation experience.
