Effects of mindful-attention and compassion meditation training on amygdala response to emotional stimuli in an ordinary, non-meditative state
Overview
This study examines how eight weeks of Mindful Attention Training (MAT) or Cognitively-Based Compassion Training (CBCT) affect amygdala responses to emotional stimuli in healthy adults during non-meditative states. Using fMRI, the researchers found that MAT reduced right amygdala activation to positive and all valences of images, while CBCT showed a trend toward increased response to negative images correlated with decreased depression scores. The resource is relevant for readers interested in the longitudinal neural impacts of meditation practices on emotional processing outside of meditative states.
