Our Mission:To cultivate well-being and relieve suffering through a scientific understanding of the mindOur Vision: A kinder, wiser, more compassionate worldAbout the Center for Healthy Minds:Faced with mental and physical health challenges at a global scale, we conduct rigorous scientific research to bring new insights and tools aimed at improving the well-being of people of all backgrounds and ages.Our research, rooted in neuroscience, comes down to one basic question: What constitutes a healthy mind?Under the leadership of renowned neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson, we're examining contemplative practices and qualities of mind we suspect affect well-being, including attention, resilience, equanimity, savoring positive emotions, kindness, compassion, gratitude and empathy. A part of UW–Madison, one of the world's top research institutions, we benefit from cross-disciplinary collaborations in the arts and humanities, the physical and natural sciences, and the social sciences. The Center recently founded a non-profit, Healthy Minds Innovations, Inc., which takes the discoveries and insights gleaned from Center research and transforms them into tools and services that allow for larger data collection and new ideas for additional research to continually inform the neuroscience of well-being.
