Mhm. >> There's also uh networks in the brain that are involved in positive affect that are activated by this kind of practice.

Uh we've also shown that on a hard-nosed behavioral measure of implicit bias that there's significant reductions in implicit bias and those reductions are sustained for at least six months after the formal period of practice ends.
