Does having a compassionate brain lead to changes in real life? UW-Madison researchers are launching a series of studies to find out how virtuous qualities, such as compassion and kindness, relate to an individual?s behavior in the real world. Dr. Richard Davidson, founder of the Center for Investigating Healthy Minds at UW-Madison, got a three-year grant worth $1.7 million from the John Templeton Foundation to do the research.
