Amishi Jha is director of contemplative neuroscience and professor of psychology at the University of Miami. With grants from the Department of Defense and several private foundations, she leads research on the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition, emotion, resilience, and performance in education, corporate, elite sports, first-responder, and military contexts. In her laboratory, she uses functional MRI, electrophysiological recordings, and behavioral analysis techniques to understand why our attention sometimes fails us, and if it can be trained for greater focus. She launched the first-ever study to offer mindfulness training tools to active duty military service members as they prepared for deployment. She holds a Ph.D. in psychology (cognitive neuroscience) from the University of California, Davis, and completed her postdoctoral training at the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center at Duke University.
