The Impact of Mindfulness Meditation Programs on Performance-Related Outcomes
Although studies have suggested that mindfulness-based interventions might be effective in enhancing military readiness and resilience, this has not been rigorously evaluated. This report presents results from a systematic review and meta-analyses of research examining how mindfulness meditation affects 13 performance-related outcomes of interest to the U.S. Army and broader military. The authors supplemented the systematic review by examining how mindfulness meditation could support stress management and exploring characteristics of selected mindfulness programs. The goal was to develop recommendations for mindfulness meditation programs for soldiers, should the Army choose to implement suc...
The Neuroscience of Tarot
Discover the Science Behind the Art of Tarot Reading What happens inside your brain when you look at a tarot card? How do you attribute significance to symbols? In this book, Siddharth Ramakrishnan, PhD, answers these questions and more as he explores the neuroscience behind intuition and proves that tarot readers aren’t just making up their results. Siddharth unveils the fascinating dance between your body and brain that occurs while delivering or receiving a reading. Learn how this unconscious synergy allows you to process tarot imagery, attach personal meaning, and elicit emotional responses, laying the groundwork for prediction. Filled with dozens of journal exercises and full-color images, this book makes it easy to understand what intuition is scientifically and how to enhance it for more accurate readings from both sides of the table. Includes a foreword by Mary K. Greer, author of Mary K. Greer’s 21 Ways to Read a Tarot Card

This novel guide is an approachable and valuable resource for any law student.
Progress in Episodic Memory Research
Episodic memory refers to the ability to remember personal experiences in terms of what happened and where and when it happened. Humans are also able to remember the specific perceptions, emotions and thoughts they had during a particular experience. This highly sophisticated and unique memory system is extremely sensitive to cerebral aging, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases. The field of episodic memory research is a continuously expanding and fascinating area that unites a broad spectrum of scientists who represent a variety of research disciplines including neurobiology, medicine, psychology and philosophy. Nevertheless, important questions still remain to be addressed. This research topic on the Progress in Episodic Memory Research covers past and current directions in research dedicated to the neurobiology, neuropathology, development, measurement and treatment of episodic memory.
Emotion, Cognition, and Their Marvellous Interplay in Managerial Decision-Making
How do affect, cognition, and their interplay influence managerial decision-making at the individual, group, and organizational levels? How can these influences be fostered or reduced? This book conceptually and empirically answers such questions, and considers important theoretical issues for future research about the complex functioning of the human mind in managerial decision-making.
The Physics of the Mind and Brain Disorders
This book covers recent advances in the understanding of brain structure, function and disorders based on the fundamental principles of physics. It covers a broad range of physical phenomena occurring in the brain circuits for perception, cognition, emotion and action, representing the building blocks of the mind. It provides novel insights into the devastating brain disorders of the mind such as schizophrenia, dementia, autism, aging or addictions, as well as into the new devices for brain repair. The book is aimed at basic researchers in the fields of neuroscience, physics, biophysics and clinicians in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, psychology, psychiatry.
Advances in Contemplative Science
Over the last twenty years, a great amount of research has been conducted in the field of “Contemplative Science” (CS), considered a crossroads between contemplative spiritual traditions and neuroscience. This is a relatively heterogeneous discipline that includes quite different techniques (mindfulness, compassion, body-mind techniques, etc.), distinct approaches from secular to religious traditions (Buddhism, Vedanta, shamanism, monotheistic religions, etc.), and different sets of terminology that frequently require clarification. One of the more challenging features of CS is its methodology, given the difficulty involved in assessing its introspection dimension. The consequence of all these aspects is that CS has become one of the newest and most interesting fields of research in psychology.
Current Research and Emerging Directions in Emotion-Cognition Interactions
Emotion can impact various aspects of our cognition and behavior, by enhancing or impairing them (e.g., enhanced attention to and memory for emotional events, or increased distraction produced by goal-irrelevant emotional information). On the other hand, emotion processing is also susceptible to cognitive influences, typically exerted in the form of cognitive control of motion, or emotion regulation. Despite important recent progress in understanding emotion- cognition interactions, a number of aspects remain unclear. The present book comprises a collection of manuscripts discussing emerging evidence regarding the mechanisms underlying emotion- cognition interactions in healthy functioning a...
