Mindfulness Training and Respiration Biosignal Feedback - Study 1

Investigators will recruit young adults to participate in a study to examine the effectiveness of respiration dynamics during meditation through phone motion data and microphones within headphones. Interested participants who contact us will be screened on study inclusion/exclusion criteria: (1) aged 18-30 years, (3\]2) interested in coming on site to complete 14 smartphone guided mindfulness meditation training units, (4) willing to wear physiological monitoring equipment and provide ratings of their training experience, (5) Not currently pregnant and (6) no current or previous diagnosis of psychosis or schizophrenia Participants are told they are going to participate in a study that focuses on monitoring physiological responses during meditation. At the start of the study, participants will complete questions via an online survey focused on demographics, prior meditation experience, their thoughts and feelings as these may be informative to participants' meditation experience. Participants will complete a few brief questionnaires before and after each mindfulness practices to understand potential changes in mindfulness . Participant physiological data will be recorded (E.g., heart rate) via smartphones and headphones to track physiologic dynamics. Additionally, the sensory shirt, made by Hexoskin Smart Sensors; AI, will also continuously measure physiologics via two inductive plethysmography (RIP) sensors. The Hexoskin shirt also tracks motion via a three-axis accelerometer. These measures will enable investigators to better understand mindfulness measures during meditation.
