Experimental procedures. (A) Experiment 1. Twelve participants carried out HAM and BCM on two consecutive days. (B) Experiment 2. Twenty participants were allocated randomly to the experimental or control group who conducted 5-day training of HAM or BCM, respectively. Both groups conducted a battery of tests before and after the training. For the experimental group, fNIRS signals during ANT and SART before and after the training, and during the last training session were recorded. HAM, haptics-assisted meditation; BCM, breath-counting meditation; fNIRS, functional near-infrared spectroscopy; ANT, attention network task; SART, sustained attention to response task.
