I am Dr. Liudmila Gamaiunova, an empirical researcher specializing in the Psychology of Religion. My work focuses primarily on contemplative practices—such as meditation and other mind–body techniques—and their impact on health, cognition, emotion, and behavior. To explore these questions, I use a range of methodologies, from psychophysiological measures to phenomenological approaches.

​

A second area of my research concerns non-ordinary experiences. I investigate their phenomenology, how they are understood across cultures, and their influence on social and affective processes.
