referenceDecentering, also described as 'reperceiving' (Shapiro et al., 2006), is a therapeutic process that creates a space between perception and response, allowing an individual to disengage from immediate experience and adopt an observer perspective to analyze habitual patterns of emotion and behavior.
referenceDillon and Pizzagalli (2007) provided a neurobiological review on the inhibition of action, thought, and emotion in Applied and Preventive Psychology.
claimIn studies of attention to emotion, bias refers to the tendency or extent to which emotional stimuli with either a negative or positive valence are processed differently compared to neutral material.
referenceA. D. Craig authored the chapter 'Interoception and emotion' in the 2008 book 'Handbook of Emotions', published by Guildford Publications.
claimKensinger and Schacter (2005) provided neuroimaging evidence for the effects of emotion on the retrieval of accurate and distorted memories.
referenceFarb et al. (2010) found that mindfulness training alters the neural expression of sadness in the study 'Minding one's emotions: mindfulness training alters the neural expression of sadness' published in Emotion.
claimThe subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) is involved in appraising the value of stimuli relative to current goals and decisions, and it plays a role in modulating emotion and disengagement through executive control mechanisms.
referenceAntonio Damasio authored the 1999 book 'The Feeling of What Happens: Body and Emotion in the Making of Consciousness', published by Harcourt Brace.
claimControlled regulation of emotion can involve antecedent-focused strategies, which involve controlling the selection or modification of the context to avoid or modify the emotional impact, such as performing a secondary distracting task or cognitive reappraisal.
referenceOchsner and Gross (2005) reviewed the cognitive control of emotion.
referenceRichard J. Davidson and William Irwin authored the 1999 paper 'The functional neuroanatomy of emotion and affective style', published in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
claimMindfulness is defined in four ways: (1) A temporary state of non-judgmental, non-reactive, present-centered attention and awareness cultivated during meditation; (2) An enduring trait described as a dispositional pattern of cognition, emotion, or behavioral tendency; (3) A meditation practice; (4) An intervention.
claimIn the context of positive reappraisal strategies, a practitioner can reflect on an emotion to determine if it is desirable or undesirable, warranted or unwarranted, and intentionally act to transform that emotional state.
referenceJ. Yiend (2010) reviewed the effects of emotion on attention and the attentional processing of emotional information in Cognition and Emotion.
claimThe posterior inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) is involved in emotional judgment, emotion recognition, predicting emotion, and mirroring action.

(2008a) published 'Regulation of the neural circuitry of emotion by compassion meditation: effects of meditative expertise' in PLoS ONE, volume 3, issue e1897, examining how compassion meditation regulates neural circuitry related to emotion.
perspectiveGarland and colleagues (2009, 2011) propose that positive reappraisal, a cognitive coping strategy, is a mechanism by which mindfulness functions to regulate emotion and stress.
referenceSubdivisions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) implicated in emotion and cognitive control processes, including decision-making, appraisal, and impulse control, include the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC), anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC).
