Abstract

Many musicians live with music performance anxiety (MPA), which may affect their psychological and physiological functioning. Mindfulness, being aware in the present moment without judgment, has been found to help ease anxiety. Mindfulness may also help alleviate the negative effects of MPA, but what is the neurophysiological basis for this effect? Core components of mindfulness, including emotional processing and acceptance, are related to specific patterns of brain activity. In the current study, 20 musicians with MPA underwent a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (Time 1), a method to examine the communication between brain regions at rest. Notably, 10 musicians then underwent 2 weeks of mindfulness training, while 10 did not. The same scan sequence was repeated in all participants 2 weeks later (Time 2). Compared with Time 1, participants in the mindfulness group exhibited decreased resting-state functional connectivity between areas of the prefrontal cortex and the vermis-6 and crus-II at Time 2. These two areas of the cerebellum are related to emotional processing and acceptance. Changes in communication between these brain regions and the prefrontal cortex suggest the neurophysiological influences of mindfulness and how mindfulness can be used to strengthen emotion regulation networks in musicians with MPA.

研究短暂的正念训练如何影响患有音乐表演焦虑症的音乐家大脑中的交流：静息状态 fMRI 研究

许多音乐家都有音乐表演焦虑症（MPA），这可能会影响他们的心理和生理功能。正念，即在当下不加判断地觉察，已被发现有助于缓解焦虑。正念也可能有助于减轻 MPA 的负面影响，但这种影响的神经生理学基础是什么？正念的核心成分，包括情绪处理和接受，与特定的大脑活动模式有关。在当前的研究中，20 名患有 MPA 的音乐家接受了静息状态功能性磁共振成像（MRI）扫描（时间 1），这是一种检查静息状态下大脑区域之间交流的方法。值得注意的是，10 名音乐家随后接受了为期 2 周的正念训练，而 10 名音乐家则没有接受正念训练。2 周后（时间 2），所有参与者重复相同的扫描序列。与 "时间 1 "相比，"时间 2 "时，正念组的参与者表现出前额叶皮层区域与蚓部-6 和嵴-II 之间的静息状态功能连接性降低。小脑的这两个区域与情绪处理和接受有关。这些脑区与前额叶皮层之间的交流变化表明了正念对神经生理学的影响，以及如何利用正念来加强患有 MPA 的音乐家的情绪调节网络。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
