Evidence from neuroscience, psychology, bio-medicine and even economics - all converge to support a real, neurophysiological effect of our beliefs and expectations on our health and well-being. The most famous example of that is the placebo effect. 

In our lab, we strive to go further - and understand how our beliefs play a role in daily well-being. A few examples include: how health-related beliefs affect disease progression; how expectations about treatments influence treatment efficacy; and how conceptions about bodily functions impact the cross-talk between the brain and related physiological systems. 

We aim to understand the mechanisms by which beliefs exert their effects - and then harness them to generate interventions to improve health and well-being. For more information - visit our website and contact us!
