Lab Director: Robert J. Goodman, Ph.D.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Objective<\/h2>\n

The aim of the NAU Contemplative Psychophysiology Lab is to extend the scientific understanding of contemplative practices by examining how mindfulness and compassion influence emotion, memory, and the self.\u00a0 This research extends into applied domains, including geriatric care and education. Accordingly, the research conducted in the CPR Lab explores two intersecting lines of research.\u00a0 First, we examine the relation between mindful awareness and the regulation and experience of emotions, particularly under conditions of threat.\u00a0 Second, we examine the relation between mindfulness and memory-related processes, such as the content and accuracy of memory, and the subjective experience of remembering.\u00a0 For more information about current research opportunities, please see the\u00a0CPR-Lab website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n Colton\u00a0received a BS in Psychological Sciences from Northern Arizona University in 2018 and will be entering the University of Kentucky\u2019s Clinical Psychology (Neuropsychology track) in the fall of 2019. Colton is interested in researching the psychophysiological effects of affective states, primarily disgust,\u00a0 and how they can lead to downstream pathogenesis of various anxiety disorders. He plans to eventually become a professor while also practicing neuropsychology in a hospital or private practice.\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n

\n Paul Plonski, a psychological sciences graduate student in the 2016\u20132018 cohort, will be presenting his thesis titled \"Comparing\u00a0Satipa\u1e6d\u1e6dh\u0101na-style Mindfulness and Progressive Relaxation Meditation on Neural Responses to Disgust and Unpleasant Emotion\"\u00a0this week. His research explores whether brief training in Early Buddhist mindfulness practices, compared to a structurally equivalent progressive muscle relaxation training, will affect a neural marker of emotional arousal (known as the Late Positive Potential) to disgusting and non-disgusting unpleasant visual stimuli. The presentation, given on Thursday, November 8,…\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n <\/div>\n
