What researchers observed
Researchers used AI to predict when adolescents lost focus on breathing during a brain and behavior study.
What this could mean
This could help researchers learn new markers of internal attention lapses and improve how mind-body practices are studied and measured.
What researchers still need to learn
Researchers still need to learn whether these predictions apply broadly outside this clinical group and if AI can guide interventions.
