This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2013 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Georgia Institute of Technology/Introduction to Neuroscience (Fall 2013)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki.

Conflicting studies

> These conflicting studies illustrate that the exact mechanism may vary with the expertise level or meditation technique

The conflict may also illustrate weakness in studies. I did not read those so cannot state, and maybe the article should avoid concluding

Hi,

My name is Darshil D. Modi and I am a student in the Intro. to Neuroscience course at Georgia Tech. This page was created as an assignment and was a topic that was suggested by one of my colleagues. I am interested in mindfulness therapy and wanted to learn about the mechanisms behind it. Please feel free to comment on my talk page and any suggestions would be helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmodi6 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, they are pretty good points. Can you describe how I can move my intro before the table of contents? Also I have been trying to figure out how to not make it an orphan anymore. I used their suggestion that they put up, but didn't really find any articles I can link to. Any help with these would be nice.

Orphan article and can link more terms to other pages such as: Buddhism, depression, emotional regulation, rostral acc (link the first time it is mentioned in the bullets), MPFC, ADHD, bipolar disorder...

6. Responsive to comments: 2

I made the assumption if you have any comments before the 18th that you would have responded to them, since you responded to ones after the 18th.

7. Formatting: 1

The introduction should be before the table of contents. Already fixed; however I have to go off of the version submitted on the 18th of November.

Great job overall on the article. My only suggestion would just be to go back and add in links to more pages like the ones I listed above. MatthewMiller71 (talk) 03:45, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure to also add the class banner to the top of this talk page. MatthewMiller71 (talk) 04:54, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, this is written very well. Add some more links to help readers with little scientific background find information. Make the page is not an orphan (I'm not sure how to do that, but there must be a help page for it). Add the banner to your talk page.

Thank you Morgan and Matthew, your comments were helpful. I will fix the links and add some more categories.

NPOV

This reads more like an advocacy piece for mindfulness meditation than a balanced account. Where are citations that are not supportive of the article's assertions?Mukogodo (talk) 03:20, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
