Abstract
The Eastern concept of ‘mindfulness’ is intended to represent a particular quality of attentional processing and awareness of events. The present study demonstrated in 19 healthy women that individual differences in trait mindful ‘observing’ positively predict fMRI-BOLD response during emotional imagery within the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) and left amygdala. Mindful ‘acting with awareness’ positively predicted DMPFC response only during relaxation imagery.
