Mindfulness Meditation
Building on our commitment to exploring the transformative power of mindfulness, our research delves into its unique capacity to diminish egocentric perspectives, fostering a more empathetic and open-minded approach to the world.
Through the lens of brief mindfulness practices, we investigate how moments of focused awareness can significantly mitigate egocentrism, enhancing our sensitivity to positive surprises and encouraging exploration beyond our habitual responses.
By integrating computational modeling, we aim to uncover the intricate ways mindfulness reshapes our cognitive processes, offering new pathways for mental health treatment and a deeper understanding of the self in relation to others. Join us as we explore the expansive potential of mindfulness to alter our cognitive landscape, promoting a more connected and less self-centered view of the world.
