  • The study involved 40 undergraduate Chinese students and showed that brief meditation practice led to improvements in attention, mood, and stress-related biological markers such as cortisol and immunoreactivity.
  • These findings suggest that a short, structured meditation program offers a practical way to study meditation's effects using rigorous experimental methods comparable to testing medications.]
