Study Summary
Meditation skills, or paying attention to internal mental states, are thought to improve people's health. This study is developing a new brain measure of meditation skills, called the EMBODY Task, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The investigators are testing whether pattern recognition methods can be applied to fMRI data to identify mental states during meditation, including attention to the body and to thoughts. This task is being developed in meditation practitioners and non-meditators. The goal is to understand what people are paying attention to during meditation using brain data. The investigators hypothesize that pattern recognition technology will be able to identify different mental states that occur during meditation.
Primary Outcome
The EMBODY Task is a new brain-based measure using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure meditation skills. The primary outcome measure of the EMBODY Task is whether brain patterns are recognized by pattern classification algorithms for the 5 conditions in the study (attention to breath, body, mind wandering, thoughts, and sounds) above chance levels (20% for 5 conditions, using a one-sample t-test for each condition in the entire sample). Classification accuracy is a standard
