So as we saw in the last module, one of the most important developments in the study of mindfulness in the contemporary period has been the way in which it's emerged as a field of interest for psychologists, for psychotherapists, and neuroscientists.This trend which has developed exponentially over the last 20 years has pulled public discourse about mindfulness away from its traditional associations with religion and spirituality and augmented this picture with more clinical, technological, and scientific images.When we talk about mindfulness today, we're increasingly likely to imagine FMRI and EEG brain scans rather than say incense burners and the scent of sandalwood.In this way, mindfulness shifts or perhaps expands from being an art into being a science.
