Mindfulness-based meditation is one of the most widely used techniques among many different meditation techniques. In this study, we examined the effect of mindfulness meditation on the performance of a task that requires control of timing. The participants performed a timing task after exercises of mindfulness meditation or silent reading. We analyzed accuracy (degree of closeness of measurements to the true value) and precision (standard deviation of measurements). The results showed that mindfulness meditation exercises increased timing precision of the performance, but did not influence accuracy of it. These findings suggest that mindfulness meditation stabilize the timing of human behavioral rhythms.
