Abstract The effects of brief mindfulness meditation (BMM) on attention networks remain unclear. Using Event-Related Potentials (ERPs), this study investigated how 18 days of Anapanasati meditation (JW2016 mental exercises, 15 min/day) modulates attentional functions in healthy adults. Behaviorally, BMM produced a selective enhancement of the executive control network, evidenced by...

Mindfulness meditation training has been associated with improved cognitive and sport performance, but the mechanisms linking mindfulness, cognitive engagement, and performance remain unclear, especially in simultaneous assessments during sports tasks. This study explored whether brief mindfulness meditation (BMM) training impacts shooting performance and cognitive engagement. We hypothesized...
This study examined the impact of brief mindfulness meditation (BMM) training on attention function and dispositional mindfulness in young males. 126 male participants aged 18-26 from the security industry were recruited, with 66 participants (M = 22.84, SD = 2.41) undergoing 4-week mindfulness meditation training and 60 participants (M = 23.07, SD = 2.29) in the active control group. The...
