Dr. Amishi Jha’s Research
Dr. Amishi Jha conducted the first-ever study on mindfulness training for active-duty military personnel, setting the foundation for cutting-edge attention training in high-stakes environments. Her research with Special Operations Forces, first responders, and other elite professionals has shaped the science-backed solutions offered by Peak Mind Interactive.
Dr. Jha’s research aims to understand:
- How attention influences our brains
- Why attention sometimes fails when we need it most
- How to train it to work better.
She employs a variety of cognitive neuroscience techniques including functional MRI, event-related potentials/EEG, behavioral and self-reported/phenomenological metrics, and cognitive training approaches involving mindfulness training. With grants from the Department of Defense and several private foundations, her research investigates the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition, emotion, resilience, and performance.
