OBJECTIVE: Mindfulness is a process whereby one is aware and receptive to present moment experiences. Although mindfulness-enhancing interventions reduce pathological mental and physical health symptoms across a wide variety of conditions and diseases, the mechanisms underlying these effects remain unknown. Converging evidence from the mindfulness and neuroscience literature suggests that...

Neural correlates of attentional expertise in long-term meditation practitioners
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences June 28, 2007 Julie A. Brefczynski-Lewis, Antoine Lutz, Hillary S. Schaefer et al. 988 citations
Meditation refers to a family of mental training practices that are designed to familiarize the practitioner with specific types of mental processes. One of the most basic forms of meditation is concentration meditation, in which sustained attention is focused on an object such as a small visual stimulus or the breath. In age-matched participants, using functional MRI, we found that activation...

Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for residual depressive symptoms.
Psychology and Psychotherapy Theory Research and Practice June 2007 Tara Kingston, Barbara Dooley, Anthony Bates et al.
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a new group-based intervention for prevention of relapse in recurrent depression which has not been scientifically evaluated regarding its clinical effectiveness for ameliorating residual depressive symptoms following a depressive episode. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of MBCT in reducing residual depressive symptoms in...
Mindfulness training modifies subsystems of attention.
Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience June 2007 Amism P Jha, Jason Krompinger, Michael J. Baime
Mindfulness is defined as paying attention in the present moment. We investigate the hypothesis that mindfulness training may alter or enhance specific aspects of attention. We examined three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct but overlapping attentional subsystems: alerting, orienting, and conflict monitoring. Functioning of each subsystem was indexed by performance on the Attention...

Mindfulness-based stress-reduction courses were offered in drug units in six Massachusetts Department of Corrections prisons. A total of 1,350 inmates completed the 113 courses. Evaluation assessments were held before and after each course, and highly significant pre- to post-course improvements were found on widely accepted self-report measures of hostility, self-esteem, and mood disturbance....

Effects of meditation on frontal alpha-asymmetry in previously suicidal individuals.
Neuroreport May 7, 2007 Thorsten Barnhofer, Danielle S. Duggan, Catherine Crane et al.
This study investigated the effects of a meditation-based treatment for preventing relapse to depression, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), on prefrontal alpha-asymmetry in resting electroencephalogram (EEG), a biological indicator of affective style. Twenty-two individuals with a previous history of suicidal depression were randomly assigned to either MBCT (N=10) or...
