After the program, the participants brains were imaged again and compared to a group that did not participate in mediation. The analysis of the MRIs showed significant physical changes in the brain. Increased gray-matter density could be seen in the hippocampus, known to be important for learning and memory, and in structures associated with self-awareness, compassion, and introspection. It also showed a decrease in the amount of gray matter in the area associated with stress and anxiety. There was also significant improvement on the mindfulness questionnaire after the eight week program.
