Mindfulness-Based Attention Training: Feasibility and Preliminary Outcomes of a Digital Course for High School Students

Education Sciences August 31, 2019 Alissa J. Mrazek, Michael D. Mrazek, Jordan V. Reese et al. 17 citations

Digital mindfulness-based interventions (d-MBIs) present an unprecedented opportunity to share mindfulness training at scale. However, the feasibility of digital mindfulness training for high schools remains unknown. Using a one-group pre–post design, this feasibility study evaluated the adoption of a digital mindfulness course in a public high school. The 22-day course was delivered on...

States of Mind: Characterizing the Neural Bases of Focus and Mind-wandering through Dynamic Functional Connectivity

Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience October 25, 2016 Benjamin W. Mooneyham, Michael D. Mrazek, Alissa J. Mrazek et al. 95 citations

During tasks that require continuous engagement, the mind alternates between mental states of focused attention and mind-wandering. Existing research has assessed the functional connectivity of intrinsic brain networks underlying the experience and training of these mental states using "static" approaches that assess connectivity across an entire task. To disentangle the different functional...

Signal or noise: brain network interactions underlying the experience and training of mindfulness.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences April 1, 2016 Benjamin W. Mooneyham, Michael D. Mrazek, Alissa J. Mrazek et al.

A broad set of brain regions has been associated with the experience and training of mindfulness. Many of these regions lie within key intrinsic brain networks, including the executive control, salience, and default networks. In this paper, we review the existing literature on the cognitive neuroscience of mindfulness through the lens of network science. We describe the characteristics of the...
