Google Tech Talks February, 28 2008 ABSTRACT Mindfulness meditation, one type of meditation technique, has been shown to enhance emotional awareness and psychological flexibility as well as induce well-being and emotional balance. Scientists have also begun to examine how meditation may influence brain functions. This talk will examine the effect of mindfulness meditation practice on the brain systems in which psychological functions such as attention, emotional reactivity, emotion regulation, and self-view are instantiated. We will also discuss how different forms of meditation practices are being studied using neuroscientific technologies and are being integrated into clinical practice to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Speaker: Philippe Goldin Philippe is a research scientist and heads the Clinically Applied Affective Neuroscience group in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. He spent 6 years in India and Nepal studying various languages, Buddhist philosophy and debate at Namgyal Monastery and the Dialectic Monastic Institute, and serving as an interpreter for various Tibetan Buddhist lamas. He then returned to the U.S. to complete a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at Rutgers University. His NIH-funded clinical research focuses on (a) functional neuroimaging investigations of cognitive-affective mechanisms in adults with anxiety disorders, (b) comparing the effects of mindfulness meditation and cognitive-behavioral therapy on brain-behavior correlates of emotional reactivity and regulation, and (c) training children in family and elementary school settings in mindfulness skills to reduce anxiety and enhance compassion, self-esteem and quality of family interactions.

Google "Robert C. Scaer brain state technologies" for another awesome presentation on neurological mammalian processes related to trauma.

This is a great, great presentation. I wish all presenters could be so well done.

Kabat-Zinn is a wonderful author and obviously also a leader in this field but I find this speaker is a much better lecturer. He gets to the point, obviously has planned his presentation in advance in a way that will transfer essential knowledge, and is not meandering and random.

I am really happy to see that neuroscience is digging deeper into mindful meditation with the aim to help people suffering from mental disorder.

Obviously, we observe a true shift in paradigm of psychotherapy: the making of neuropsychotherapy. What is "exposure"? Skinner and Wolpe didn't believe we had to know nothing about "the black box" - now we do! And that knowledge will change, and it'll change therapy. "Exposure" is not only a "reciprocal inhibition" it is a psychological treatment technic that change neural structures. And that's not has not necessarilly be called "behavioural" therapy - it has to be called "neuropsychotherapy".

In relation to this check out The New Paradigm in Psychology by Ruben Feldman Gonzalez. He talks about Unitary Perception which Jiddu Krishnamurti called meditation. It is not a technique because techniques are still within thought. Domhnall O Brien
