The LPP (late positive potential) slope, a measure of how brain activity changes over time in response to emotional pictures, can serve as an index of attention dynamics. Mindfulness inductions alter this slope, suggesting that mindfulness training shifts how attention is deployed and sustained over time.

Cognitive control may serve as a transdiagnostic mechanism through which psychedelics exert their effects, suggesting that improvements in cognitive control processes could underlie therapeutic benefits across various psychiatric conditions.

Resting-state brain activity in regions of the executive and default mode networks differs in people with higher levels of dark triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy). Specifically, fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF), a measure of spontaneous neural activity, is altered in these networks, suggesting a neural fingerprint associated with these personality traits.

A within-subject experiment compared two meditation styles—focused attention and open monitoring—on cognitive control. Both styles improved accuracy on a Stroop task, but only open monitoring reduced interference from incongruent trials, suggesting distinct neurobehavioral effects. Focused attention enhanced overall performance, while open monitoring specifically bolstered conflict monitoring. The findings indicate that different mindfulness techniques engage separable cognitive processes.
