Network Analysis in Meditators

In this lecture Pablo Roca will provide an explanation of the main action mechanisms underlying the practice of meditation, sharing some of the studies that will make up his doctoral dissertation. Firstly, Pablo will show the main results of an experimental study to analyze whether the practice of meditation modify our cognitive and attentional processes toward positive, negative and neutral stimuli. Then, he will explain why Network Analysis applied to psychology could help us to examine how the practice of meditation changes the mind by reorganizing the connections between different psychological variables.
