Welcome to my website!

 

I am Dr. Liudmila Gamaiunova, a postdoc-level empirical researcher in the Psychology of Religion. My main area of interest is contemplative practices, such as meditation(s) and other mind-body techniques. I study the effects of these practices on health, cognitive and affective domains, and behavior using different methodologies, ranging from psychophysiology to phenomenology.

 

My second area of interest is non-ordinary experiences: I investigate their phenomenology, cross-cultural appraisals, and potential effects on a socio-affective domain.
