IDS 120 - Neurobiology Meets Buddhism: The Promise of Mindfulness (3 Cr.)
Modern neuroscience and the ancient wisdom of Buddha have come together in demonstrating that the brain changes throughout one’s life and that each of us can have a major impact on the direction of these changes. In this course scientific studies validating the benefits of mindfulness in improving emotional and physical wellness, social relationships, academic performance, focus, and resilience will be examined. Students will be introduced to techniques for realizing the benefits of a mindfulness practice. Students who previously took this course as a Frontiers (FRO 100) course may not take it again for additional credit. Offered January term 2017. Brody and Gibbs.
