Presenter: Mitchell Sadar, PhD, BCN, BCB-HRV

This one-hour presentation will discuss what is involved in “mindfulness”, what benefits can be derived from instituting a mindfulness practice into one’s daily life, and how different biofeedback modalities can facilitate and enhance mindfulness practice. Mindfulness will be defined, and state versus trait mindfulness will be discussed. Attention and awareness will be suggested as the primary functions underlying a beneficial mindfulness practice. The better one can attend or concentrate, and the more one can expand one’s conscious awareness in terms of time and content, the more beneficial it will be. Various forms of biofeedback, including sEMG, Skin Conductance, Heart Rate Variability, and EEG biofeedback, will be examined as to their potential effects for improving attention and/or conscious awareness.
