Description
Information technology (IT) has responded to the burgeoning interest in mental well-being by facilitating a wide range of mental well-being management alternatives for everyday life, providing flexible solutions to traditional treatment barriers. As one form of combining IT with psychological interventions to improve mental well-being, IT-based meditation has shown potential to positively impact mental health. However, there are still gaps in understanding of how IT-based meditation affects users’ cognitive and emotional experiences. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the neuropsychological aspects of IT-based mindfulness meditation through electroencephalography measurements. This study suggests a research model and experiments to explore the mechanisms by which VR-based and mobile-based mindfulness meditation, as a form of IT-based interventions, cognitively and emotionally affects users’ mental well-being. The insights gained from this study have implications for both academic understanding and the development of effective wellness technologies.
