People who practice yoga and meditation for longer periods can train their brain to use gadgets effectively in daily life. In recent years, there has been a lot of attention on improving the computer side of the brain-computer interface but very little attention to the brain side.

"This study shows that looking closer at the brain side may provide a valuable tool for reducing obstacles for brain-computer interface success in early stages," explains Bin He, a biomedical engineering professor from University of Minnesota's college of science and engineering, Washington, USA.

The research could have major implications for treatment of people who are paralysed or have neuro-degenerative diseases.In the study , researchers involved 36 participants. One group of 12 had at least one year of experience in yoga or meditation at least two times per week for one hour. The second group included 24 healthy participants who had little or no yoga or meditation experience in their daily lives.

Both groups participated in three, twohour experiments over four weeks in which they wore a high-tech, non-invasive cap over the scalp that picked up brain activity .The participants were asked to move a computer cursor across the screen by imaging left or right hand movements.

"The participants with yoga or meditation experience were twice as likely to complete the brain-computer interface task by the end of 30 trials and learned three times faster than their counterparts for the left-right cursor movement experiments," said Bin He.
