Correction: Breath-Focused Mindfulness and Compassion Training in Parent-Child Dyads: Pilot Intervention Study.

JMIR Formative Research March 2, 2026 Satish Jaiswal, Jason Nan, Seth Dizon et al. correction

Background: Depression in children is a concerning societal issue and can be associated with poor academic performance, school dropout, and poor overall quality of life. Additionally, child depression is often associated with parallel stress and depression in parents. Objective: This scenario highlights the urgent need for the development and implementation of accessible and scalable solutions...

Brief mindfulness coaching enhances selective attention in medical scientists: A pilot study.

PLoS One September 12, 2025 Satish Jaiswal, Jason Nan, Suzanna R Purpura et al.

Medical scientists have dual commitments to clinical care and research efforts. Such commitments can create hectic and stressful work schedules, which may impact on well-being and cognition. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that brief mindfulness coaching (three 1.5 hour online group sessions over 12 weeks) can benefit medical scientists. We conducted a waitlist-controlled intervention...

Modulation of Posterior Default Mode Network Activity During Interoceptive Attention and Relation to Mindfulness.

Biological Psychiatry Global Open Science November 1, 2024 Dhakshin Ramanathan, Jason Nan, Gillian Grennan et al. 10 citations

Interoceptive attention to internal sensory signals, such as the breath, is fundamental to mindfulness. However, interoceptive attention can be difficult to study, with many studies relying on subjective and retrospective measures. Response consistency is an established method for evaluating variability of attention on exteroceptive attention tasks, but it has rarely been applied to...

Posterior default mode network activity underlies distracted interoceptive attention and provides an objective basis for low mindfulness & depression

Jyoti Mishra, Dhakshin Ramanathan, Gillian Grennan et al. preprint

Abstract Interoceptive attention to internal sensory signals is fundamental to mindfulness. However, it is difficult to measure objectively, and the vast majority of investigations of the neural correlates of mindfulness-based attention rely on subjective and retrospective measures of distraction. In this study, we measured consistency of response times on a breath-monitoring task (instruction...
