Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question mentions that functional MRI studies indicate that meditation is a voluntary regulation of attention and another type of function. Autonomic functions are involuntary, so they can be ruled out. Somatic functions primarily involve the musculoskeletal system and are unlikely to be the focus of meditation studies. The central nervous system is involved in attention regulation, but that is already mentioned in the question stem. Therefore, sensory functions are the most likely remaining option, but since it is not explicitly mentioned in the question stem, A is the best answer choice.
