Abstract

The Advances in Meditation Research (AMR) conference series was created to advance the growing interdisciplinary science that explores the neural correlates and associated psychological and clinical applications relevant to the practice of meditation in its many forms. It is our hope that through such investigation, contemplative practices that include meditation can be safely and efficiently translated into health care management and education, as supported by rigorous research. AMR is a biennial conference. This year's conference (meditation2015.com) is valuable for clinicians, scientists, scholars, meditation practitioners, and everyone who wishes to learn about the science of meditation.
