ABSTRACT
Presented by Richard J. Davidson
In this talk, Richard J. Davidson will explore recent scientific research on the neuroscience of positive human qualities and how they can be cultivated through contemplative practice. Distinctions among different forms of contemplative practices will be introduced and they will be shown to have different neural and behavioral consequences, as well as important consequences for physical health in both long-term and novice practitioners. New research also shows that meditation-based interventions delivered online can produce behavioral and neural changes. Collectively, this body of research indicates that we can cultivate adaptive neural changes and strengthen positive human qualities through systematic mental practice.

Hi! I write you from Granada (Spain) Thank you for your blog, it is very interesting. I'm PhD student, and next week we have two days, in the University, about Psychology and Meditation, with talks and meditation work. Very interesting this video. I understand english (if they speak slowly, of course!), but, do you know if I can get the subtitles of this talk (in english, of course)?
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Oscar
Hi Oscar,
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I do not know if a translation, subtitled version is available. I don't think Google offers a transcript either.
Have fun with the lectures!
