Journal ArticleDOI
Helping from the heart: Voluntary upregulation of heart rate variability predicts altruistic behavior.
TL;DR: A novel biofeedback task that measures the ability to deliberately increase High Frequency Heart Rate Variability suggests that self-induction of parasympathetic states is involved in altruistic action, with implications for the study of attention, emotion, and social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiencing meditation - Evidence for differential effects of three contemplative mental practices in micro-phenomenological interviews.
Marisa Przyrembel,Tania Singer +1 more
TL;DR: The validity of Micro-phenomenological Interviews (MpI) is explored to assess experiences during breathing meditation, observing-thought meditation (OTM), and loving-kindness meditation (LKM), revealing differential affective, bodily and sensorial fingerprints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulus-driven reorienting impairs executive control of attention: Evidence for a common bottleneck in anterior insula
TL;DR: A role of AI in stimulus-driven and executive control of attention that involves down-regulation of internally directed processes in DMN is demonstrated and functional connectivity indicated inhibitory coupling between posterior TPJ and AI during concurrent attention demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct mental trainings differentially affect altruistically motivated, norm motivated, and self-reported prosocial behaviour
TL;DR: Findings corroborate the motivation-based framework of prosociality, challenge economic views of fixed preferences by showing that socio-affective training boosts altruism, and inform policy makers and society about how to increase global cooperation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Short-term Change in Leukocyte Telomere Length With Cortical Thickness and Outcomes of Mental Training Among Healthy Adults: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Lara M. Puhlmann,Sofie L. Valk,Veronika Engert,Boris C. Bernhardt,Jue Lin,Elissa S. Epel,Pascal Vrticka,Tania Singer +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first evidence to date for an association between short-term change in leukocyte telomere length and brain structure, suggesting that these processes may be mechanistically linked.
