Cognitive Changes in Meditation Study

An 8-week class for people who are new to meditation designed to teach you the basics! 

The course will focus on the efficacy of practice and guided meditation recordings. Each week you will meditate with us, try it at home, and track & reflect on your experiences.

As part of the class, our lab will also ask you to fill out some questionnaires and do some tasks as part of a psychological study.

You will be paid $60 to complete research tasks!

In other words we are looking for volunteers new to meditation to:  

  • Complete 8-weeks in a course about meditation practice. The class is self guided and should take you approx. 60m per week to complete the core course activities. 
  • Engage in practice sessions at home. How much you do is up to you but we encourage you to try. We will ask you to keep a record. 
  •   Fill out approx. 20 minutes of online questionnaires and tasks at the start, and 60 minutes at the end of the course. 

Registration is Closed
