"We believe this new finding is of interest to the fields of education, health and neuroscience, as well as for the general public," said Dalian University's Yi-Yuan Tang, who led the team of Chinese researchers.
IBMT emphasizes body-mind awareness using breathing techniques and mental imagery to achieve a state of "restful alertness."
Scientists hypothesized that the changes resulted from a reorganization of white-matter tracts or by an increase of myelin that surrounds the connections.
The researchers said the findings suggest that IBMT can be used as a vehicle for understanding how training influences brain plasticity.
