Summary

Purpose of the Study

This clinical trial aims to find out whether a 5-day mindfulness training program can help improve creativity in academic researchers. The study focuses on answering these key questions:

Can focused-attention (FA) and open-monitoring (OM) meditation boost creativity in academic researchers?

Do FA and OM meditation have different effects on creativity?

How does the training affect brain activity (measured by electrical signals)?

Researchers will compare the effects of FA and OM meditation with a control group that listens to audio recordings, to see which method-if any-helps improve creativity.

What Participants Will Do

Join one of three groups: FA meditation, OM meditation, or audio listening (control), and take part in daily practice for 5 days.

Come to the research center for testing three times.

Keep a daily log of how they engage with the training.
