Neurohemodynamic correlates of ′OM′ chanting: A pilot functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Background: A sensation of vibration is experienced during audible ′OM′ chanting. This has the potential for vagus nerve stimulation through its auricular branches and the effects on the brain thereof. The neurohemodynamic correlates of ′OM′ chanting are yet to be explored. Materials and Methods: U...
