Here is more info on Dr. Davidson (thanks again to Bruce):Webinar: Contemplative Neuroscience
with Richard J. Davidson
Vilas Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry,
University of Wisconsin-Madison
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
3:00 - 4:00 pm EDT
Dr. Davidson is a William James and Vilas Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in Psychology and has been at Wisconsin since 1984.
He has published more than 250 articles, chapters and reviews, and has edited 13 books. Dr. Davidson was the founding co-editor of the new American Psychological Association journal, EMOTION, and is also past-president of the Society for Research in Psychopathology and of the Society for Psychophysiological Research.
In 2000, he was recipient of the most distinguished award for science given by the American Psychological Association – the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award. In 2003 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2004 he was elected to the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time Magazine in 2006. In 2006, he was also awarded the first Mani Bhaumik Award by UCLA for advancing the understanding of the brain and conscious mind in healing.
How to Register
Submit the Gotowebinar.com registration form by noon on the day of the webinar (the earlier the better, in order to allow enough time for you to receive the connection instructions). After submitting the form, you will be forwarded to a payment page. If you are a member of the ACMHE, disregard this step (webinars are free for members); if you are not a member, you must submit the $5 payment for your registration to be approved. After your registration has been approved, you will be sent instructions for connecting to the webinar.If you have any questions regarding registration or connection, please email beth@contemplativemind.org.
Please Note: Technical Concern for Mac OS 10.6.3 users (and possibly others)
At our April webinar, several participants using Mac OS v10.6.3 were unable to connect: after clicking the link above to join the webinar, they were routed to a GotoWebinar F.A.Q. page instead of the actual webinar. We have contacted GoToWebinar to find a solution for this problem, and their suggestion has been for affected users to try a different web browser (ie Firefox instead of Safari) or an entirely different computer. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes and are currently researching new webinar service providers to avoid this problem in the future.
Talk by Richard Davidson: Transform Your Mind, Change Your Brain
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.Davidson is lab director at the Laboratory for Affective Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin Madison. Here is a collection of his papers (only going back to 2008 - more at the site). From what I can tell after a random sampling, these are all PDFs that we can download.
