?? The scientific investigation of meditation and mindfulness practices is currently exploding. A growing number of studies show beneficial effects of regularly engaging in mindfulness practices, evident in various measures of well being and psychological functioning. The talk will introduce some of the main research strands of current meditation research and discuss some of the latest findings. What do scientists discover when analysing meditators with their empirical, third person methods? And how does the process of meditation look from the perspective of the meditator? In his talk Dr Malinowski builds on his own expertise in psychological and neuroscientific research combined with more than 20 years of first-hand meditation experience and many years as international meditation teacher. website: Liverpool Cafe Scientifique next meeting facebook: Liverpool Cafe Scientifique |
