Excited to share a new commentary piece, now out in in @biologicalpsych.bsky.social: CNNI, discussing recent findings by Tsomokos et al. that examined how socioeconomic disadvantage relates to internalizing problems via pubertal effects on cortical thinning in adolescence!

In this article, @ariellekeller.bsky.social and I argue how the field is well positioned to leverage recent advances in exposomics and personalized neuroscience to inform public policy and precision psychiatric medicine: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Delighted to share that our latest manuscript is now out in NeuroImage! This project began with a simple but critical question: If meditation trains attention, what exactly changes—and could those changes help us better understand and support advanced meditative states and stages? ⤵️

Can meditation be understood as systematic mental training? Despite the obvious appeal of thinking of meditation training like a workout for the mind, as the gym is for muscles, and its wide usage across communities practicing and researching meditation...

Powerful scientific clues to the mystery of consciousness are emerging from its very absence. Advanced meditation research seeks to scientifically understand profound and powerful shifts in consciousness that can arise from contemplative mastery. One such shift, which we call...

Advanced meditation ushers in incredible new possibilities for the science of consciousness. In the first-ever fMRI study of Extended Cessation (EC), for which we’ve just preprinted, my colleagues and I examine this advanced meditative event—where consciousness is deliberately switched off and...
