USC Center for Mindfulness Science

Mental training strategies  to improve the well-being of individuals and ultimately communities.

USC Brain and Creativity Institute - Cammilleri Hall 

Thank you for Registering, we look forward to seeing you!

A lecture with Doctor Richard J. Davidson, PhDWilliam James and Vilas Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder &amp; Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison. This lecture will consider scientific evidence that suggests that we can change our brains by transforming our minds and cultivate habits of mind that will improve well-being. These mental training strategies can be used to improve the well-being of individuals and ultimately communities. The talk will provide an overview of neuroscientifically validated constituents of well-being and will illustrate how each of these is rooted in specific brain circuits that exhibit plasticity and thus can be modified through training. These practices can be applied in a wide range of contexts and have the potential to positively impact social change.
