Very recently, these approaches have started including mindfulness practices. Nature-based mindfulness interventions (NBMIs) combine contemplative practices with exposure to natural environments and are increasingly recognised as promising...
Abstract Mindfulness-based interventions effectively reduce stress and anxiety, yet the neural mechanisms underlying contemplative practices and their optimal implementation parameters remain poorly understood. A critical barrier to real-world application is the absence of validated minimally invasive neural recording technologies. Here, we simultaneously recorded full-coverage scalp and...
Purpose: This study proposes a process-based, closed-loop model of mindfulness-based psychological regulation to address the lack of real-time mechanism accounts in competitive sport.

Water-based contemplative practices—from full-body underwater meditation to ice baths, breath-hold training, and mindful immersion near lakes or oceans—are associated with profound psychological and physiological benefits. While most mindfulness literature emphasizes silencing the Default Mode Network (DMN), emerging evidence suggests a more nuanced truth: the DMN does not need to be turned...
Background: In high-intensity sports such as basketball, psychological factors significantly influence performance. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) show potential for reducing anxiety, depression, and mental fatigue while enhancing attention, resilience, and basketball technical skills. However, few studies have compared the effects of MBI between elite athletes and recreational players....
Mindfulness training improves endurance performance, and athletes susceptible to negative emotions may benefit most. EEG frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA) is a real-time biomarker reflecting emotional responses to distress, with higher left frontal alpha power indicating more negative emotional responses. This study combined psychological and electrophysiological approaches to examine the effect of...
