Study Summary

This project focuses on understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms by which mindfulness training (MT) results in positive behavioral change and enhanced psychological well-being. Participants will complete two sets of cognitive tasks during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and either be assigned to an MT intervention between scan sets or after scan sets.

Primary Outcome

The proactive composite variable consists aggregates the proactive condition of 4 tasks (Stroop, Cued Task-Switching, AX-CPT, Sternberg WM). For each task, a z-score is computed for each participant from their behavioral performance score: \[(participant score - mean)/standard/deviation\]. Then the composite score is created by summing z-scores.
