Breathing training is a common intervention in self-help training and mindfulness practices. The positive effects on mental health are likely because of the development of emotion regulation. Neuroscientific evidence has shown that emotion regulation can be based on approach or withdrawal motivation, characterized by neurological frontal asymmetry. This study examined the role of emotion...

Practicing mindfulness is a mental process toward interoceptive awareness, achieving stress reduction and emotion regulation through brain-function alteration. Literature has shown that electroencephalography (EEG)-derived connectivity possesses the potential to differentiate brain functions between mindfulness naïve and mindfulness experienced, where such quantitative differentiation could...

Objectives: Mindfulness-based stress reduction has been proven to improve mental health and quality of life. This study examined how mindfulness training and various types of mindfulness practices altered brain activity. Methods: Specifically, the spectral powers of scalp electroencephalography of the mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) group (n=17) who underwent an 8-week MBSR...
