Dispositional Mindfulness

     Recently I read the abstract of a Neuro-Journal paper that I noticed because of the title which was "Dynamic functional connectivity markers of objective trait mindfulness".  The paper, lJulianLimJamesTengAmiyaPatanaikJesiscaTandiStijn A.A.Massarhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2018.04.056Get rights and content
provides an insight from the authors fmri research that offers a WHY CLUE pointing to my "Nike Factor" obsession.

     I had never heard of High Trait Mindfulness (HTM),  DFC (Dynamic Functional Connectivity or how these states relate to the human DMN (Dynamic Mode Network), a Neuro Research consensus pattern that,  "represents brain areas that are more active during times of rest compared to times of cognitive activity (e.g., the medial prefrontal cortex, posterior cingulate cortex, precuneus, inferior parietal lobules, and medial temporal regions)".  Using this baseline, the researchers subdivided a test population according to their natural inclination to maintain activate cognitive focus, and to correlate the spectrum with the participants static/permanent DMN marker. 

     The claimed results showed a strong correlation between mindfulness and how resistant individuals were to shifting from a "task-ready state HTM to the baseline DMN state.  The result, as offered was: "In sum, DFC features robustly distinguish HTM and LTM individuals, and may be useful biological markers for the measurement of dispositional mindfulness."  One more hard science finding pointing to nature and away from nurture as the explanation for the Nike Factor.  Please do not mention this evidence to the "alt-left" as they live on a precipice, both revering science yet advocate "equality of outcome".  If they fall off, we'll be screwed.  Trump will be President forever!
