3.2.3 Comparison between meditation emotion regulation strategies
ROI analyses showed differential DMN activity for the BREATH vs. ACCEPT
contrast in the MFC, such that MFC activation was lower during the
BREATH relative to the ACCEPT condition [xyz = 0, 58, 18, 9 voxels,Z = 3.73, pFWE = 0.02] 2a .No other ROIs were
significant for the BREATH vs. ACCEPT contrast and there were no
significant results for this contrast at the whole-brain corrected
threshold (Table 3 ). 3.2.4 Comparison between meditation
and non-meditation emotion regulation strategies
A whole-brain BREATH vs. DISTRACT contrast revealed lower activation in
the precuneus and middle temporal gyrus at the whole-brain corrected
threshold (Figure 2a, Table 3 ). No ROIs showed significant
activation for the BREATH vs. DISTRACT contrast. For the ACCEPT vs.
DISTRACT contrast, there was lower DMN activation in the MFC ROI [xyz
= 2, 48, 22, 6 voxels, Z = 3.5, pFWE = 0.05],Figure 2b. No other ROIs were significant for the ACCEPT vs.
DISTRACT contrast and there were no significant clusters for this
contrast at the whole-brain threshold (Table 3 ).
