Journal ArticleDOI
Attention regulation and monitoring in meditation
TL;DR: Meditation can be conceptualized as a family of complex emotional and attentional regulatory training regimes developed for various ends, including the cultivation of well-being and emotional balance, which could have a long-term impact on the brain and behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
The integration of negative affect, pain and cognitive control in the cingulate cortex
Alexander J. Shackman,Tim V. Salomons,Heleen A. Slagter,Andrew S. Fox,Jameel Winter,Richard J. Davidson +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that negative affect, pain and cognitive control activate an overlapping region of the dorsal cingulate — the anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC), which constitutes a hub where information about reinforcers can be linked to motor centres responsible for expressing affect and executing goal-directed behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mental Training Affects Distribution of Limited Brain Resources
Heleen A. Slagter,Antoine Lutz,Lawrence L. Greischar,Andrew D Francis,Sander Nieuwenhuis,James M. Davis,Richard J. Davidson +6 more
TL;DR: This study shows that meditation, or mental training, affects the distribution of limited brain resources, and supports the idea that plasticity in brain and mental function exists throughout life and illustrates the usefulness of systematic mental training in the study of the human mind.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mental Training Enhances Attentional Stability: Neural and Behavioral Evidence
Antoine Lutz,Heleen A. Slagter,Nancy B. Rawlings,Andrew D Francis,Lawrence L. Greischar,Richard J. Davidson +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, three months of intensive meditation training reduced variability in attentional processing of target tones, as indicated by both enhanced theta-band phase consistency of oscillatory neural responses over anterior brain areas and reduced reaction time variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Knowing good from bad: differential activation of human cortical areas by positive and negative outcomes
Sander Nieuwenhuis,Heleen A. Slagter,Niels J. Alting von Geusau,Dirk J. Heslenfeld,Clay B. Holroyd +4 more
TL;DR: Results support a new hypothesis regarding the neural generators of the FRN, and have important implications for the use of this component as an electrophysiological index of performance monitoring and reward processing.
