SCHEMEL FORUM SPRING 2016 LUNCHEON SERIES
Please Pay Attention (it could change your brain!): Insights into how Mindfulness Helps Us Change Our Habits
In February 2014 the cover of Time Magazine declared a “mindful revolution” based on a growing body of research suggesting that mindfulness might be useful in treating a number of health-related problems ranging from stress to anxiety to addiction. Dr. Brewer will discuss laboratory studies that help to unravel these mysteries in both clinical studies and basic research involving meditation.
