The Gran Canaria Cognitive Research Center was delighted to host a specialized seminar featuring two insightful talks on the cognitive and practical applications of mindfulness. The event brought together researchers, teachers, and students to explore how mindfulness influences both individual brain function and organizational well-being.
The session opened with Alexander Logemann, who presented a summary of recent findings regarding mindfulness and challenged inhibitory control. His talk focused on how mindfulness affects cognitive processes in reward-associated contexts, offering a detailed look at the intersection of clinical and neurodevelopmental psychology. Following this, Zsófia Logemann-Molnár from the Minder Mental Health Program shared her expertise on mindfulness-based interventions within an organizational context, discussing how these practices can be effectively implemented to improve mental health and performance in professional environments.
The seminar provided a valuable platform for discussing how non-invasive psychological interventions can modulate behavior and enhance well-being across different settings. Attendees engaged in a productive dialogue with the speakers, exploring the practical implications of these findings for both research and real-world application.
