本研究主要在探討參加專注大腦中心點禪坐法之禪修課程後，個體大腦各腦區的腦波與其情緒調節主觀感受有無明顯變化。本研究以24名無禪坐經驗成人，隨機分成禪坐、對照組。禪坐組進行8週禪修禪坐課程。兩組同時進行前、後測。包含：（一）量測受試者在10分鐘禪坐中，腦部11個電極區域之θ、α、β、γ波的腦波變化。（二）填寫「情境—特質焦慮量表」、「正負向情緒量表」與「情緒調節能力量表」。
本研究結果發現：（ㄧ）禪坐組前後測腦波變化值增強程度達 .05顯著水準者有：θ波在左前額、中前額、右前額、左側邊、右側邊腦區；α波在左前額與中前額腦區；與γ波在左前額與左側邊腦區。（二）禪坐組前後測情緒調節的主觀感受評估上，只有「正向情緒」提高程度達顯著，其餘向度皆未達顯著。（三）對照組前後測腦波的變化值與情緒調節的主觀感受評估則皆無顯著變化。因此，本研究的結果確實支持：禪坐組經8週的專注大腦中心禪坐訓練後，透過額葉θ、α波的增強能讓個體處於既放鬆又專注且覺察的狀態，同時大腦左半邊γ波的增強，對個體正向情緒及情緒調節能力的提升亦有所幫助。不過，禪坐組雖在腦波變化上已可觀察到顯著變化，但其在主觀感受上仍未產生明顯差異，這有待後續研究再深究檢視之。

This study attempted to investigate the changes in electroencephalography (EEG) and emotion regulation following eight-week inward-attention meditation training program. The subjects were 24 adults without meditation experiences divided into meditation and control groups. We quantitatively analyzed changes in psychophysiological parameters during inward-attention meditation, and evaluated the emotion scores assessed by the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and the Emotion Regulation Scale (ERS).
The results were found: (1) During meditation, significant EEG increased for θ waves in the frontal and the bilateral temporal areas, for α waves in the left and central frontal areas, and for γ waves in the left frontal and the left temporal areas. (2) The meditation group had significantly higher positive affect in posttest than in pretest. (3) There were no significant difference in the changes of EEG spectral characteristics and emotion scores in posttest and pretest for the control group.
In the present study, we used a unique meditative concentration task with a constant level of moderate mental effort focusing on the center of brain, so as to enhance frontal midline θ, α, and γ activities. These results suggest that this mental training allows individual reach a specific mental state of relaxed but focused awareness. The γ patterns, in particular, enhanced over left frontoparietal area may suggest that inward-attention meditation training involves temporal integrative mechanisms and may induce short-term and long-term emotion regulation abilities.
