Please do not forget to take a look at our Placebo Workshop, which took place in July 2010.



As part of the Workshop: Colour and You: How Colour Shapes the World and Your Life

Some people have a greater quantity of colour-sensitive cones in their retina than others. Yet, most of us appear to perceive colours in the same way. That’s because colour perception is controlled more by our brains than by our eyes. From colour blindness to a condition that compels people to visualize numbers and characters in colour, we’ll explore the relationship between colour and brain science—including why red pills stimulate and blue pills calm.. 

  • From the Chemistry of the Chicken Soup to the Chemistry of the Brain and Behaviour

    • On March 23rd, Dr. Raz participated to the McGill MiniScience 2011: Better living through Chemistry, where he told us more about the neurochemistry of the brain    .  With its underlying chemistry and physiology, the brain is the organ of behaviour. It is fascinating to explore some highlights from neurochemistry and see how these shape our theoretical and practical understanding of behavioural science.
