Talk by Richard Davidson: Transform Your Mind, Change Your Brain

Click to watch this talk given by Richard Davidson at Google. From YouTube:

In this talk, Richard J. Davidson will explore recent scientific research on the neuroscience of positive human qualities and how they can be cultivated through contemplative practice. Distinctions among different forms of contemplative practices will be introduced and they will be shown to have different neural and behavioral consequences, as well as important consequences for physical health in both long-term and novice practitioners. New research also shows that meditation-based interventions delivered online can produce behavioral and neural changes. Collectively, this body of research indicates that we can cultivate adaptive neural changes and strengthen positive human qualities through systematic mental practice.

Hi Stephanie and thank you for your interesting post. You mentioned "New research also shows that meditation-based interventions delivered online can produce behavioral and neural changes." I'd love to read more on this. Could you please point me in the direction of this research? Many Thanks, Zeph.
