ENIGMA-Meditation is a new working group within the Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analyses (ENIGMA; https://enigma.ini.usc.edu/) Consortium. Our call for participation is open and we look forward to welcoming new partners! This 3-minute form is to gather basic information about available data from cohorts that are interested in participating in our group.

The ENIGMA-Meditation Working Group aims to bring together Contemplative research groups in order to mutualize neuroimaging and genetic databases towards large-scale studies on brain structure, function, neurophysiology and molecular underpinnings of different contemplative practices (e.g., different techniques of meditation, mindfulness and other contemplative mind-body practices), and identify brain regions and networks involved in the neurobiology of these practices and potentially investigate how these relate to genomic background.

If you can contribute more than one dataset, please fill in a separate poll for each of them.

Note that contributors of a dataset will be included as co-authors in all ENIGMA publications that use the contributed dataset.

Coordinators: Dr. Anthony King, OSU Program for Resilience, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Health and Psychology, Ohio State University, Ohio, USA; and Saampras Ganesan, Melbourne Neuropsychiatry Centre, Department of Psychiatry, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Contemplative Studies Centre, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia.

What self-report questionnaires measuring mindfulness and/or other mind-body measures have you collected? Please list the questionnaires.

Examples: Five-Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Multi-dimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA), State Mindfulness Scale (SMS), Toronto Mindfulness Scale (TMS), other.

What questionnaires measuring clinical conditions have you collected, for cohorts with data from clinical patients? Please list the conditions and questionnaires used to assess them.

Please type N/A if not applicable.

Examples: depressive symptoms using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), posttraumatic stress symptoms using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), other.

Did you collect other information? Please list all that apply.

Examples: age, gender, ethnicity, etc.

Did you also collect other cognitive/behavioural data? Please list the domains and tests used.

Examples: working memory, executive functions, social cognition, emotion processing, etc.

Please list any key publications describing your cohort:

Sharing individual subject level data is NOT a requirement, but knowing if you can share them will help us determine the possibility of running pooled mega-analyses.

What type of de-identified data could you share? Please select all that apply.

Raw scans – this may be necessary if you are not in capacity to process, quality assess your data and run the required analyses at your site

Imaging outputs (e.g., .csv files with average ROI cortical thickness, average ROI fMRI BOLD timecourses, ROI-ROI functional/structural connectivity matrices) – this may be necessary for some projects

Clinical information (e.g., item level scores, total scores)

Self-report questionnaire information (e.g., item level scores, domain scores, total scores)

Only summary statistics – you will perform all processing, quality assessment and analyses on your site, and share the outputs for meta-analyses
