Contemplative Neuroscience

Contemplative Neuroscience is the study of how practices like meditation and mindfulness affect the brain and overall mental health. Researchers examine how these practices can change brain structure and function, improve emotional regulation, enhance attention, and promote well-being. By using techniques such as brain imaging, scientists explore the relationship between meditation, cognitive processes, and emotional experiences. This field aims to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and contemplative traditions, providing insights into how these practices can foster personal growth and mental resilience.
