What happens inside your brain when you meditate, view art, or immerse yourself in nature? Our latest episode dives deep into groundbreaking neuroscience that reveals these experiences are far from interchangeable. Using cutting-edge fMRI technology, researchers have uncovered fascinating, distinct brain activation patterns that challenge everything we thought we knew about mindfulness and mental wellness.
Join us as we explore a pioneering study that mapped the brain's unique responses during transcendental meditation, digital art viewing, and nature observation. We'll unpack surprising findings about how different contemplative experiences light up unique neural pathways, potentially offering revolutionary insights into stress reduction, mental health, and human consciousness.
From star nebula visualizations to breakthrough neuroscience, this episode takes you on a journey inside the human brain, revealing how our inner experiences create measurable, remarkable changes in our neural landscape. Discover why not all moments of calm are created equal – and what that means for your mental well-being.

Meditation, art and nature: Neuroimaging reveals distinct patterns of brain activation
This is Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy
Independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, clinical, global, and community conversations about things that matter. Breathe Easy, we go deep and lightly surface the big ideas.
Thanks for listening today!
Four recurring narratives underlie every episode: boundary dissolution, adaptive complexity, embodied knowledge, and quantum-like uncertainty. These aren’t just philosophical musings but frameworks for understanding our modern world.
We hope you continue exploring our other podcasts, responding to the content, and checking out our related articles on the Heliox Podcast on Substack.

Curated, independent, moderated, timely, deep, gentle, evidenced-based, clinical & community information regarding COVID-19. Since 2017, it has focused on Covid since Feb 2020, with Multiple Stores per day, hence a large searchable base of stories to date. More than 4000 stories on COVID-19 alone. Hundreds of stories on Climate Change.
Zoomers of the Sunshine Coast is a news organization with the advantages of deeply rooted connections within our local community, combined with a provincial, national and global following and exposure. In written form, audio, and video, we provide evidence-based and referenced stories interspersed with curated commentary, satire and humour. We reference where our stories come from and who wrote, published, and even inspired them. Using a social media platform means we have a much higher degree of interaction with our readers than conventional media and provides a significant amplification effect, positively. We expect the same courtesy of other media referencing our stories.
