This Mental Health Awareness Month, I discussed mindfulness with Dr. Amishi Jha, the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience & Professor of Psychology at @univmiami.
New pub alert! @anthonyzanesco@EkatDenkova Based on data (N>10,000) we found that mind wandering grows in strength over time—with individuals focused on something other than their current task upward of 50% of the time toward the end of the task. https://t.co/fVRU4gF5Hl
Congratulations Amishi Jha!
Psychology Professor and Director of Contemplative Neuroscience, Dr. Jha was named a 2024 Fellow Association for Psychological Sciences (APS) an outstanding and well-deserved recognition!

You are more vulnerable to false narratives and misinformation if you are not paying attention. Why? Because you need your attention to “unbelieve”. (From https://t.co/GS5REDO81R, 2021)
