Annual Conference of the
New Zealand Psychological Society (NZPS)
This 2005 Annual Conference of the New Zealand Psychological Society will be in Dunedin, 1st-4th September. Bruno Cayoun (Psychology Centre [TAS] and University of 
Tasmania) will be among the keynote speakers. His keynote address, entitled “From co-emergence dynamics to human perceptual evolution: The role of neuroplasticity during mindfulness training”, will examine the recent research leading to the concept of embodied cognition, whereby the continuous interaction of thoughts and body sensations plays a central role in emotional reactivity and the reinforcement of psychopathology. He will discuss how the processing of information during mindfulness training leads to brain plasticity in attentional pathways that subserve metacognition and interoception, resulting in greater degrees of self-understanding and self-control. He will also conduct a full-day workshop on his four-stage model of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MCBT (MiCBT)) for crisis and post-crisis situations in chronic and personality disorders.
