Popis: Mindfulness has taken over the past 25 years a status of autonomous paradigm in some medical and psychotherapeutic disciplines that have generated a pervasive interest about its clinical applications and the nourishment of the individual well-being. This tendency coexists with a technological direction that in recent years has enabled the development of personal and portable devices for EEG neurofeedback (already used to support the treatment of ADHD, DOC, autism, depression, anxiety disorders, etc.) easily usable in real life situations by the individual. We will discuss the pros and cons about the convergence between these two trends through the results of an 11 month autoetnographic study and the analysis of the data gathered during the long period usage of a personal meditation neurofeedback device.
