rdf:langString Cognitive neuroscience of attention, working memory, and mindfulness

rdf:langString Google search for: '"Strong Projects" situational awareness' only found this article and its echo chamber; whatever context "Strong Projects" references—evidently not high profile—should be introduced properly before sliding it into the middle of a long sentence.

rdf:langString Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami. Jha's research on attention, working memory, and mindfulness has investigated the neural bases of executive functioning and mental training using various cognitive neuroscience techniques. Past studies have focused on the method by which attention selects information as relevant or irrelevant and how working memory then allows that information to be manipulated. Jha's most recent research has examined mindfulness training with soldiers in the U.S. military with the Strong Projects as a tool in improving situational awareness and reducing stress measured through brainwave activity and cognitive behavioral tools. Her work has been featured in numerous publications. She has spoken at the World Economic Forum, the Aspen Institute, and the New York Academy of Sciences and has presented her research to the Dalai Lama and the Mind and Life Institute.
