Meditação, mindfulness, impermanência e não-eu: revisão integrativa sobre interfaces entre Psicologia, Neurociência e Budismo
Revista Sociedade Científica July 1, 2026 Cleyson Rocha da Silva
An integrative review critically examined how scientific literature connects Buddhist meditation practices with psychological constructs and neuroscientific findings, focusing on mindfulness, compassion, impermanence, and non-self. Searches in PubMed, SciELO, PEPSIC, and Google Scholar used Portuguese and English descriptors. After thematic and methodological screening, the analytical corpus included studies discussing empirical evidence, theoretical formulations, and interpretive limits of this interdisciplinary interface. The studies converge in indicating that meditative practices are associated with attentional regulation, reduced rumination, changes in self-referential circuitry, and gains in compassion and emotional self-regulation.
