Deconstructing the Emotion Regulatory Properties of Mindfulness: An Electrophysiological Investigation
The present study sought to uncover the emotion regulatory properties of mindfulness by examining its effects-differentiated as a meditative practice, state of mind and dispositional trait-on the late positive potential (LPP), an event-related potentials (ERPs) indexing emotional processing. Results revealed that mindfulness as a meditative practice produced a reduction in the difference betwee...

In Study 1, MM practitioners (N = 28) categorized tones presented 1 or 4 s following the onset of affective pictures. Reaction times (RTs) to tones for affective minus neutral pictures provided an index of emotional interference. Participants with more MM experience showed less interference from...
