Резюме	The Mindfulness Attention Focus Scale (MAFS) is a brief self-report measure designed to assess the degree to which individuals maintain focused, intentional attention on present-moment experience versus experiencing automatic, mind-wandering attention. The MAFS addresses the attentional component of mindfulness from a neuroscientific perspective, grounded in research demonstrating that meditation produces measurable changes in attention networks and prefrontal cortex activation. The instrument emerged from contemplative neuroscience research investigating the neural mechanisms underlying mindfulness practice and the development of stable attentional focus.	The Toronto Mindfulness Scale (TMS) is a 13-item self-report instrument uniquely designed to measure state mindfulness—the immediate, transient quality of mindful awareness during or immediately following a meditation session. Developed by Zindel V. Segal, Mark A. Lau, and colleagues at the University of Toronto and published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology in 2006, the TMS captures two core dimensions of state mindfulness: Curiosity and Decentering. Unlike trait measures (FFMQ, FMI) which assess habitual mindfulness, the TMS provides moment-to-moment assessment and has become essential in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and contemplative neuroscience research.
