Summary

The purpose of this study is to test if an 8-week mindfulness meditation training (vs a wait-list control condition) program reduces neurobehavioral reactivity and improves affect regulation in a sample of older adults, as measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, we will examine if mindfulness meditation training reduces loneliness and markers of chronic inflammation.
