Los Gatos, January 9, 2023: The Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District (LGSUHSD) is proud to announce that Saratoga High School senior Bryant Liu’s Research on “Deep Learning for Meditation’s Impact on Brain-Computer Interface Performance” is scheduled to be published on the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Xplore website and has been presented by Bryant at the 2022 International Communication Engineering and Cloud Community Conference held in October of 2022 and the 2022 International Conference on Computing and Big Data held in December of 2022 .
Bryant has been studying meditation and breathing techniques since he was ten years old. After gaining incredible benefits from his own meditation and seeing the health benefits given to a family member with Parkinson’s Disease who meditated regularly, Bryant began researching how meditation could change one’s brain physically.
With a focus on deep learning to analyze the impact of meditation on the cognitive function of the brain, Bryant’s passion and work led him to create the Meditation Club at Saratoga High School. A weekly club held at lunchtime in the Wellness Center hosting up to 15 students at a time, Bryant uses meditation techniques to promote the wellness of students, help deal with stress, and improve mental health, resilience, and happiness among his peers.
IEEE Xplore provides web access to more than five million full-text documents from some of the world’s most highly-cited publications in electrical engineering, computer science, and electronics. Made up of conference papers, technical standards, course hours, and more, IEEE Xplore has numerous documents added to its website monthly.
