 Dr. Amir Raz heads the Clinical Neuroscience and Applied Cognition Laboratory at the JGH Institute of Community and Family Psychiatry (ICFP) and investigates attention, expectation and the neural correlates of altered states of consciousness including hypnosis. An associate professor in psychiatry and Canada Research Chair at McGill, Dr. Raz works with children and adults and conducts experiments on how attention controls internal processes such as cognition, emotion, thought, and action. A former magician, he studies the psychology of misdirection and the power of suggestion to influence psychological and physiological components. Dr. Raz came to the JGH and McGill in April, 2007 from Columbia University. He hopes his research will be elucidate how suggestions can influence brain processing and how these physiological changes can translate into therapeutic applications.
