Attention and meta-cognition as core components of meditation
Speaker: Dr. Peter Malinowski
Description: Many meditation systems – from traditional Buddhist to secular mindfulness-based approaches – promote attention and meta-cognition as important foundations for progressing towards more transformative goals. The talk will review relevant theoretical concepts and empirical evidence, primarily focusing on EEG research into changes of attention and meta-cognition that emerge from mindfulness meditation.
