Here, we present a protocol to investigate the neurophysiological correlates of various meditation forms, including religious chanting. This method uniquely integrates fMRI eigenvector results for region selection in electroencephalogram (EEG) source analysis using k-means clustering. The results provide an in-depth understanding of the neural processes involved in repetitive religious chanting.
