Self-awareness, Self-Regulation, & Self- Transcendence (S-ART): A Framework for
Understanding the Neurobiological Mechanisms of Mindfulness

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE:
The Advances in Meditation Research (AMR) conference series was created to advance the growing interdisciplinary science exploring the neural correlates and associated psychological outcomes attendant to meditative practice in its many forms, from various Yogic traditional practices to Abrahamic religious contemplative practices to Theravadan and Mahayana Buddhist practices including shamatha, vipassana and metta as well as modern adaptations of mindfulness practices. The speakers are practitioners of a range of meditative practices and acting at the interface of science and spirit as highly trained scientists conducting rigorous cutting-edge research into the ways in which meditative practice affect consciousness, the brain, aging, and clinical outcomes. We will present the
state of meditation research so as to facilitate the findings being safely and efficiently translated into modern education, medicine, and social change.
