Scientists are still trying to figure out why so powerful meditation to improve mental and physical health. One old theory states that meditation as a physical practice can create more powerful muscles and brain.
A study in the journal Psychological Science tries to identify the function of the brain that can actually be enhanced by meditation.

Research shows that intensive meditation can help peoples focus their attention and can survive despite being the most boring task.
The participants of the meditation can takes visual clues better than the control group. It is not clear whether the meditation helps them to process new information in a meaningful way.
The study, written by 13 researchers and led by Katherine MacLean from the University of California, begins with a record of all those tired after concentrating. She also noted the results of research in 1970 that the monks who have been meditating regularly for years has performed better than most people who undergo the test concentration.

In the past five years, other research shows that meditation also produced substantial gains in concentration for common people who took the practice.
In new studies, 60 interested students who register to attend the three-month meditation retreat was randomly divided into two groups. The first group, as many as 30 people went to the Shambhala Mountain Center, an expensive resort on the Red Feather Lakes, Colorado, just south of the border state of Wyoming.
Another group of 30 people had to wait three months to attend the second retreat at the Shambhala Center. This second group as control group.

The researchers gave two groups of test concentrations before the retreat began, half way and then again after the meditation ends. During the retreat, participants will undergo the practice of meditation for at least five hours a day.
The results proved that meditation can indeed help a person concentrate. But the study found that meditation helps your brain to do something with an automatic, but instead something more complicated.

Recent research shows that meditation does not need intensive to take effect. One recent study by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte found the fact that student can improve their performance in several tests of cognitive skills after four days of meditation training. Each workout only takes 20 minutes.
