ABSTRACT This proposal requests funding support for a small-group scientific conference focused on Mindfulness Mechanisms and Methods. In the last decade, supported by the trans-NIH BRAIN Initiative, tremendous advances have been made in the development of available tools and technologies that have the potential to that revolutionize our understanding of the human brain. In parallel, scientific interest and research on mindfulness meditation has exploded, including that focused on key brain mechanisms of action by which mindfulness practices yield beneficial effects on psychological health and well-being, with much of this work occurring through NCCIH support. Yet progress in this subfield, which has been termed contemplative neuroscience, has not been as rapid as it should be, due to a due to a number of challenges: a) lack of fluency, and even awareness, among many contemplative neuroscientists regarding current advances and the new tools available; b) minimal interactions between basic researchers and technology developers, who can generate both constraints and new ideas, regarding how to more effectively deploy and disseminate these tools; and c) insufficient dialogue between researchers and advanced practitioners, regarding best practices on how to utilize this modern cognitive neuroscience toolkit within the context of mindfulness instruction and therapeutic intervention. We propose to organize a scientific meeting to address these challenges. The objective of the meeting will be to create a forum in which different constituencies can gather for intensive and extended inter-disciplinary dialogue and discussion. Additionally, a select group of junior trainees will be awarded travel fellowships to attend the meeting, in order to engage in discussions, receive feedback on their own work, and network with leading figures in this field. Following the conference, a special issue of the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging will disseminate and attract scientific attention to the topics covered in the meeting, with submissions coming from meeting participants and other solicited investigators. Additionally, a group-authored position paper from conference participants (in the Biological Psychiatry sister journal Global Open Science) will lay out the most promising research questions and strategies that can be most productively investigated via inter- disciplinary teams of basic and aging researchers, thus facilitating the formation of such teams, and attracting the interest of an international audience.

抽象的 该提案要求为一个小组科学会议提供资金支持，以正念为重点 机制和方法。在过去的十年中，由Trans-Nih大脑倡议支持，巨大 在开发可用的工具和技术方面已经取得了进步 彻底改变了我们对人脑的理解。同时，对正念的科学兴趣和研究 冥想爆炸了，包括着重于关键的动作机制，正念 实践对心理健康和福祉产生有益的影响，大部分工作都是通过 NCCIH支持。然而，在这个子领域的进展，被称为沉思性神经科学，但尚未 由于许多挑战所致：a）缺乏流利甚至意识， 在许多关于当前进步和可用新工具的沉思神经科学家中； b）最小 基础研究人员与技术开发人员之间的互动，他们可以同时产生约束和新的 关于如何更有效地部署和传播这些工具的想法； c）之间的对话不足 研究人员和高级从业人员，关于如何利用这种现代认知的最佳实践 在正念教学和治疗干预的背景下，神经科学工具包。我们建议 组织一次科学会议来应对这些挑战。会议的目的是建立一个论坛 在其中，不同的选区可以聚集进行密集，扩展的跨学科对话和讨论。 此外，一组精选的初级学员将获得旅行奖学金参加会议，以便 进行讨论，收到有关自己的工作的反馈，并与该领域的领先数字建立联系。 会议之后，《生物精神病学》杂志的特刊：认知神经科学和 神经影像将传播并引起科学的关注，并向会议中涵盖的主题进行科学关注 来自会议的参与者和其他邀请的调查人员的提交。此外，是一个由小组的人 会议参与者的职位论文（在《生物精神病学姐妹杂志》全球开放科学杂志中）将 阐述最有希望的研究问题和策略，这些问题和策略可以通过互相研究最有效地研究 基础研究人员和老龄化研究人员的纪律团队，从而促进了此类团队的成立并吸引 国际观众的兴趣。
