Preliminary Evidence for Changes in Functional Connectivity Associated with Emotional Awareness after Mobile-Based Mindfulness Meditation

In a pre- and post-MBI comparison of a single group, subjects who underwent mobile-based MBI showed FC changes including the VMPFC. In particular, some of these FC changes were correlated with changes in emotional awareness. The results of this study suggest that further research is needed to verify whether mobile-based MBI affects improvement in emotion regulation through neural changes in functional brain networks.
