Study Summary

Currently there are 2 popular stress reduction courses that are widely used in the US. Although they use somewhat similar techniques, it is currently unknown whether or not they work the same way, or if they are similarly effective at reducing stress. The study will directly compare these 2 courses. Participants will undergo approximately 4-5 hours of testing before and after each 8-week course.

Primary Outcome

Seed based functional connectivity analysis was performed using the Connectivity Toolbox (CONN) implemented within the Statistical Parametric Mapping program (SPM8; Welcome Department of Cognitive Neurology). Our seeds were located in the right inferior frontal gyrus pars opercularis (MNI coordinates: 54, 14, 16) and the dorsal anterior insula (MNI coordinates: 32, 20, 0). Note - MRI data from some subjects was either missing, not collected, or corrupted, and so the analyses were performed on ju
