Focused meditation involves a dynamic cycle of four mental states: mind-wandering (MW), awareness of distraction (AWARE), shifting attention back (SHIFT), and sustained attentional focus (FOCUS). Meta-awareness of these processes is trained during mindfulness meditation, possibly improving mental health. This study investigated heart rate (HR) and ocular movements during breath-focused...
Menopause is a natural physiological transition in women’s lives, often accompanied by physical, psychological, and emotional challenges that negatively affect quality of life.

Implementation variability is hypothesized to be a key treatment effect modifier of universal, school-based mental health interventions, but the evidence base remains meagre. We used Complier Average Causal Effect (CACE) estimation to determine if dosage variability modified treatment effects of relaxation techniques and mindfulness-based exercises in the INSPIRE cluster randomised trial....

Combining mindfulness training with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is feasible and generally well tolerated, but the existing literature has produced feasibility findings rather than mechanistic ones. No trial has contrasted a stimulation montage matched to the network a contemplative practice preferentially engages against a montage matched to a different practice's...
