Meditation and Cognition

The Human Neuroimaging Laboratory (HNL) at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, located in Roanoke, Virginia would like to invite you to participate in a research study. We would like to understand how mindfulness impacts the brain. In this study, you may be asked to complete a series of tasks in an MRI machine, and to fill in questionnaires online and/or during on-site visits. Alternately, you may be asked to complete tasks or questionnaires outside of the scanner, while your heart rate and/or breathing is monitored.

•  Eligibility:  Healthy adults between the ages of 18-65
• Compensation:  typically $20-100 depending on study duration and tasks completed
• Study duration:  1-3 hours 
• Institute sponsor:  Human Neuroimaging Laboratory
