"Meditative practice like this is probably a person's best bet to improve cognitive performance," co-author Jason Moser, an associate professor of psychology at Michigan State University, told TODAY. It could possibly boost your attention and help you minimize mistakes down the road.
But it's not focusing on the breath — the kind of mindfulness practice most people are familiar with — that really made a difference.
