Join us online as we host Norman Farb to explore the science behind mindfulness practice. Norm studies the neuroscience of human identity and emotion, with a focus on how cognitive biases shape emotional reactions that determine well-being. For example, some people seem to shrug off stressful encounters, whereas others cannot let them go. What distinguishes these people? Is it something about how they construe themselves and the world? What consequences do habitual patterns of self-reference have for well-being? Norman's work employs multiple levels of analysis, including first and third-person qualitative reports, behavioral task performance, physiological responses, and patterns of neural activity and connectivity derived primarily through functional MRI. 

In this workshop, Norm will communicate his scientific understanding to mindfulness teachers and those interested in the 'Art of Sense Foraging'.
