FIGURE 2 Region of interest results: Effects of meditation emotion
regulation techniques on activation in the default mode network (DMN).
(a) Differential DMN activation associated with ACCEPT vs. BREATH
meditation instructions. Yellow colors indicate greater BOLD response in
the DMN for ACCEPT vs. BREATH. (b) Differential DMN activation during
meditation instructions (ACCEPT) vs. a non- meditation instruction
(DISTRACT). Blue colors indicate lower DMN activation during meditation
instructions (ACCEPT) relative to non- meditation instructions
(DISTRACT). Results significant at small-volume corrected threshold
(pFWE ≤ 0.05, > 5 voxels) and shown at p< 0.005 for display purposes. BOLD — Blood-oxygen
level-dependent; MFC — medial frontal cortex. X, y, and z are MNI peak
coordinates.
