摘要

Mindfulness meditation, a nonsectarian practice centered around focused attention and conscious breathing, exerts a profound influence on diverse cognitive processes. This study delves into the realm of Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, capturing four distinct signal types from 40 subjects during mindfulness meditation, rest, concentration tests post-meditation, and subsequent rest periods using PowerLab ADInstruments. To illuminate the intricacies within the ECG data, a series of signal processing techniques were employed. The transformative Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) eradicated Baseline Wander (BW), while a tenacious Notch filter attenuated Powerline Interference (PLI). Further, the gentle touch of a Moving Average Filter brought serenity to the ECG signals. Employing the esteemed Daubechies 6 (Db 6) wavelet function, DWT facilitated the extraction of 11-time domain features. Additionally, the ethereal realm of frequency domain analysis revealed 4-frequency domain features. Classification endeavors were conducted with two potent classifiers: the illustrious Bagged Trees (BT) ensemble classifier and the formidable Support Vector Machine (SVM) with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel. Their discerning power sought to distinguish mindfulness meditation from rest states. Performance measures hailed BT as the worthy champion, flaunting a remarkable accuracy of 90.00%. This pioneering study showcases the far-reaching potential of mindfulness meditation, as it weaves its transformative tapestry through the intricate language of ECG signals. Within this concise exploration, we glimpse the captivating effects of mindfulness meditation on cognitive functions. As the radiant dawn of knowledge beckons, we stand poised to unlock the boundless frontiers of human consciousness.
