BMA analysis on connectivity parameters (in Hz). ANOVA analyses on (a) the strength of connectivity from the pons (centered at 0, − 33, − 30) to the PCC/precuneus showed a significant group × session effect. The meditation group, but not the relaxation group, showed a significant increase in positive connectivity strength following training (b) The connectivity strength from the PCC/precuneus to the pons showed no group × session effect and no significant change following training in either the meditation or relaxation group. Error bars denote ± 1 standard error of the mean. * indicates a statistically significant difference at p < 0.05.
