Mindfulness meditation is a means of increasing awareness of the present moment. Mindfulness Mediation Interventions (MMI) positively impact psychological functioning, yet the neurocognitive mechanisms that mediate these effects have been less well-defined. Here, the primary aim was to evaluate whether the effects of a 10-week MMI were mediated by changes in attention and creativity performance, as well as resting-state theta/beta (TB) ratio and alpha power. We also sought to determine whether any of these measures at baseline were predictive of mindfulness success, as rated by the 7–11-year-old participants and their teachers. Reductions in depression from pre-to-post were mediated by reductions in TB ratio and increases in alpha power; however, they were not mediated by attention/creativity changes. Higher baseline attention and creativity scores predicted enhanced mindfulness success post-intervention but notably, follow-up analyses revealed that those scoring lower on these measures were more likely to have reduced depression from pre-to-post.

正念冥想是增强当下意识的一种方法。正念调解干预（MMI）对心理功能产生积极影响，但调节这些影响的神经认知机制尚不明确。在这里，主要目的是评估 10 周 MMI 的效果是否是由注意力和创造力表现以及静息态 theta/beta (TB) 比率和 alpha 功率的变化介导的。我们还试图确定这些基线测量是否可以预测正念的成功，如 7-11 岁的参与者及其老师的评分。从治疗前到治疗后，抑郁症的减少是通过结核病比率的降低和阿尔法功率的增加来介导的。然而，它们并不是由注意力/创造力的变化来调节的。
