Correlation index (Spearman ρ) followed by the measure precision index (), relative values and ratio correlations, meditation weekly frequency versus theta/beta ratio of induced band powers, theta relative induced band power, theta/beta ratio of the relative induced band powers, and alpha frequency peak (all values were collected during the passive observation task).
