Listening with your heart: The heartbeat shapes auditory object formation by suppressing the early neural response to sound

The paper shows that suppressing early neural responses to sound during the cardiac cycle can lead to qualitative changes in auditory perception, such as perceiving sounds as separate streams.

Meditation as a Bioactive Intervention: Molecular and Neurophysiological Mechanisms Revealed by Connectivity Mapping

This study uses connectivity mapping to show meditation shares molecular signatures with drugs targeting neuroactive pathways, suggesting it modulates brain excitation-inhibition balance.
