Mindfulness as a Context for the Cultivation of Compassion (2010, background): “In a comprehensive review of EEG and fMRI imaging studies of meditation, Cahn and Polich (2006) found that meditation involved increased regional bloodflow to certain areas during the act of meditating.”
Leader Mindfulness and Employee Performance: A Sequential Mediation Model of LMX Quality, Interpersonal Justice, and Employee Stress (2018, neutral): “Research also suggests that mindfulness training can lead to persistent changes in emotion and behavior, as well as in the neural systems responsible for self-regulation (e.g., Baer 2003; Cahn and Polich 2006).”
The meeting of meditative disciplines and Western psychology: a mutually enriching dialogue. (2006, methodology): “Suggested physiological mechanisms include reduced arousal, modified autonomic nervous system activity, stress immunization, and hemispheric synchronization and laterality shifts (e.g., Cahn & Polich, 2006; Davidson et al., 2003).”
Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence (S-ART): a framework for understanding the neurobiological mechanisms of mindfulness (2012, background): “It has been reported that the hypometabolic state of the practitioner may act to facilitate the extinction process by creating novel parasympathetic associations with previously anxiety-provoking stimuli (Cahn and Polich, 2006).”
The Neuropsychological Connection Between Creativity and Meditation (2009, background): “Many studies of meditation (Cahn & Polich, 2006) have observed increases in intraand interhemispheric coherence in the alpha–theta range during practice as a trait effect at rest, or while engaged in cognitive tasks.”
Training attentional control and working memory - Is younger, better? (2012, neutral): “…in cognitive neuroscience have started to take an interest in MM in recent years (Brefczynski-Lewis , Lutz, Schaefer, Levinson, & Davidson, 2007; Cahn & Polich, 2006; Chiesa, Calati, & Serretti, 2010; Jang et al., 2010; Lutz, Greischar, Rawlings, Ricard, & Davidson, 2004; Lutz et al., 2008;…”
A systematic review of neurobiological and clinical features of mindfulness meditations (2009, background): “A systematic review of neurobiological and clinical features of mindfulness meditations A. Chiesa* and A. Serretti”
Loving-kindness meditation increases social connectedness. (2008, methodology): “…were measured as response time bias in milliseconds. p .05. habitual patterns of responding (Brefczynski-Lewis, Lutz, Schaefer, Levinson, & Davidson, 2007; Cahn & Polich, 2006), but it is not yet known whether practiced loving-kindness meditators would show more long-lasting or stronger effects.”
Enhancing attention through training (2015, background): “Recent meta-analyses of the behavioral effects of meditation [31], functional brain systems involved [32,33] and structural changes in brain gray and white matter [34 ] have been generally favorable to changes in behavior induced by various forms of meditation training.”
Mindfulness training and the cultivation of secure, satisfying couple relationships. (2013, neutral): “Dozens of additional studies (reviewed by Cahn & Polich, 2006; Chiesa & Serretti, 2010; Edwards, Peres, Monti, & Newberg, 2012; Hölzel et al., 2011b; Rubia, 2009; Vago & Silbergerg, 2012) document functional and connective changes within and between brain regions in response to mindfulness…”
Meditation in the Higher-Education Classroom: Meditation Training Improves Student Knowledge Retention during Lectures (2013, methodology): “Finally, numerous studies have shown enhancements in cognitive, physiological, and neurological functioning with meditation training (Brown et al. 2007; Cahn and Polich 2006); these improvements are likely to be of benefit, and of interest, to a variety of student populations.”
Contemplative Education: A Systematic, Evidence-Based Review of the effect of Meditation Interventions in Schools (2015, background): “(2010) found that the number of 10- and 13-year-old children who were categorised at pre-test into the “borderline” and “abnormal” categories of emotional problems and depression significantly decreased at the post-test following 10 weeks of mindfulness meditation. Finally, using semi-structured int”
Religion, self-regulation, and self-control: Associations, explanations, and implications. (2009, background): “By consulting a comprehensive review of the electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetic resonance imaging studies on meditation (Cahn & Polich, 2006) and conducting our own search of the literature to retrieve newer studies, we found five studies that were relevant to this claim.”
How Does Mindfulness Meditation Work? Proposing Mechanisms of Action From a Conceptual and Neural Perspective (2011, neutral): “Several neuroscientific studies have reported the ACC to be implicated in meditation (Cahn & Polich, 2006).”
MINDFULNESS AT WORK (2011, background): “…meditation include activation in the areas of the brain associated with emotional regulation, attentional regulation, enhanced attentional focus, and heightened awareness of internal bodily sensations (for review, see Cahn & Polich, 2006; Chiesa & Serretti, 2010; Treadway & Lazar, 2009).”
