Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yanli Lin's research investigates the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive control and mindfulness. Her work has explored how working memory capacity influences the implementation of proactive control strategies. Lin has also examined the effects of distinct mindfulness states on neural markers related to emotion processing, utilizing electroencephalography (EEG) to study changes in the late positive potential. Her research program includes longitudinal EEG network analysis to understand the neural dynamics of mindfulness training, specifically comparing focused attention and open monitoring meditation techniques.

Lin has published on the development of a theoretically-guided within-subject task fMRI battery, known as the Dual Mechanisms of Cognitive Control dataset. She has also contributed to discussions on how meditation can support ethical scientific practice and the application of EEG in advancing mindfulness science through surveys of emerging methods. Her work is characterized by a focus on understanding the brain's electrical activity in response to cognitive and meditative practices.
