Megha Pundir is a passionate and dedicated research scholar at the Central University of Rajasthan, currently working at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and traditional contemplative practices. Her ongoing doctoral research focuses on exploring the neurophysiological signatures of meditation and its impact on attention, aiming to bridge ancient wisdom with modern science. With a strong academic foundation in yoga science and a deep-rooted curiosity about the mind, Megha’s work delves into understanding how meditative practices can enhance cognitive functions, emotional well-being, and overall mental clarity, especially in young adults facing increasing psychological stress and distractions in today’s fast-paced world.
Her research employs advanced neuroimaging techniques, including electroencephalography (EEG), to decode the subtle yet profound changes that meditation induces in the brain. Through a systematic investigation involving controlled trials, she examines alterations in brainwave patterns, attentional dynamics, and psychological states before and after structured meditation interventions.
