The Suburban - Brain power: Dr. Amir Raz on mind-body medicine



Jun. 9, 2011


The common narrative of positive thinking claims there's always reason to
hope, since hope itself can heal. According to Dr. Amir Raz, it's difficult
to find data to support this - yet, there is data to support the strength of
the power of suggestion. Understanding this difference is what will change
the face of medical treatment.
 
Dr. Raz holds the Canada Research Chair in the Cognitive Neuroscience of
Attention in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University, and heads both
the Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at McGill and the Clinical
Neuroscience and Applied Cognition Laboratory at the Lady Davis Institute
for Medical Research at the JGH.
 
As the head of the Raz Lab at McGill University, where its members explore
various areas of psychological research, the former magician presented an
informative lecture on the use of mind-body medicine June 2 at the Gelber
Conference Centre.
