The Mind and Life Institute (see links on this blog, under del.icio.us) will hold their 2008 Summer Research Institute in Garrison, NY from June 6-12. I just took a look at the description of this upcoming conference, and it just looks amazing, and very much in line with the topics I am currently working on (the enhancement of emotion regulation, and attention, through mindfulness practice). If I can work it out, I'll be there! Below you will find an excerpt from their conference description:

"In recent years, emotional self-regulation and attention have emerged as central themes in psychology (clinical and developmental) and neuroscience (affective and cognitive), yet little work has been done to link findings about attention in cognitive psychology and neuroscience to findings about emotional self-regulation in clinical and developmental psychology and affective neuroscience. This gap reflects a longstanding separation of cognition and emotion in the brain and cognitive sciences, but one that has become increasingly untenable.
Contemplative mental training, including the psychological and philosophical theories of mental functioning that inform this training, open new avenues for investigating the complex relations among emotion, attention, meta-cognition, cognitive appraisal, affect and feeling, and the voluntary self-regulation of mental states. Contemplative practice not only offers new psychological phenomena for scientific investigation, but also and more importantly provides new resources for advancing scientific theories and models of cognitive and emotional functioning and subjective experience."
