Subclaims¶

q2 i? Single-brain attention levels were significantly higher during the lecture compared with the meditation task (t(23) = 5.56, p < .001). → Jingjing Chen 2022

Evidence¶

Jingjing Chen 2022¶

Jingjing Chen, Bing Xu & Dan Zhang. (2022). Inter-brain coupling analysis reveals learning-related attention of primary school students. bioRxiv. https://doi.org/10.1101/2022.06.08.495411

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Same within-class meditation-versus-lecture comparison of averaged attention levels in 24 analyzed students; the authors present this, with the relaxation control, as a quality check of the NeuroSky attention index.

"As demonstrated in Fig.3d, the single -brain attention levels were significantly higher during the lecture compared with the meditation task (t(23) = 5.56, p < .001)."
