Abstract: | Using a simple motor response, a complex sensorimotor response, and a tapping test, the effect of a complex of meditation exercises on the neuromuscular coordination in healthy male students who were preliminarily trained in methods of self-regulation based on meditation techniques was studied. As a result of a 6-min session of self-regulation, a considerable decrease (by 30% or more) in the time of a simple motor response and a complex sensorimotor response (due to a decrease in the latent time at constant motor time) and a simultaneous decrease in the number of errors, as well as a considerable increase in the result of the tapping test, were recorded. A short-term effect expressed in an increase in the rate and accuracy of sensorimotor responses can be a result of a change in the functional state of the nervous system under the impact of transcendental meditation techniques. |
