Movement-based practices have, however, been found to be effective for relieving the symptoms of several clinical conditions, and to elicit measurable changes in physiological, neural, and behavioral parameters in healthy individuals. An important challenge for neuroscience is therefore to advance our understanding of the neurophysiological and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying these observed effects, and this Research Topic aims to make a contribution in this regard. It showcases the current state of the art of investigations on movement-based practices including yoga, tai chi, the Feldenkrais Method, as well as dance. Featured contributions include empirical research, proposals of theoretical frameworks, as well as novel perspectives on a variety of issues relevant to the field. This Research Topic is the first of its kind to specifically attempt a neurophysiological and neurocognitive characterization that spans multiple mindful movement approaches, and we trust it will be of interest to basic scientists, clinical researchers, and contemplative practitioners alike. 606 $aNeurosciences$2bicssc 610 $acontemplation 610 $adance 610 $aembodiment 610 $afeldenkrais 610 $amindfulness 610 $aMovement 610 $aSelf-regulation 610 $asomatics 610 $aTai Chi 610 $aYoga 615 7$aNeurosciences 700 $aKerr$b Catherine E$4auth$01842754 702 $aSchmalzl$b Laura$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220056803321 996 $aNeural Mechanisms Underlying Movement-Based Embodied Contemplative Practices$94422963 997 $aUNINA
