High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

798
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Summary

Mindfulness attention is linked to brain connectivity. Higher scores on the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) correlate with altered functional connectivity in attention-related brain networks.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Mindfulness involves non-judgmental awareness of present experiences.
  • The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) measures trait mindfulness, focusing on attention.
  • Understanding the neural basis of MAAS is crucial for mindfulness research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the neural correlates of the MAAS.
  • To examine MAAS associations with resting-state functional connectivity in attention networks.
  • To explore how MAAS scores relate to the default mode network (DMN), salience network (SN), and central executive network (CEN).

Main Methods:

  • Thirty-two mindfulness-naive university students participated.
  • MAAS questionnaires were administered.
  • Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to assess brain connectivity.
  • Independent component analysis (ICA) and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were employed.

Main Results:

  • MAAS scores showed significant correlations with functional connectivity in resting-state networks.
  • Negative correlations were found between MAAS scores and connectivity in the precuneus (part of DMN) within the SN and CEN.
  • The DMN exhibited negative correlations between MAAS and the insula, while the SN showed negative correlations with the posterior cingulate cortex.

Conclusions:

  • MAAS scores are associated with functional connectivity in brain regions critical for attention.
  • Mindfulness, as measured by MAAS, involves cross-network functional connectivity.
  • These findings provide insights into the neural underpinnings of trait mindfulness and attention.
