Research into what mindfulness does to the brain is in its infancy. It is difficult to obtain precise brain imaging, which means researchers must make assumptions about brain activity. However, researchers such as Grant and Taren are currently conducting large, unprecedented studies to isolate the effects of mindfulness from the effects of other stress-relieving practices and to monitor changes in the brain after long periods of meditation.
