From placebos in medicine to hypnosis and emerging psychedelic therapies, expectations can play a powerful role in shaping human experience.In this talk, experimental psychologist Dr Devin Terhune (King’s College London) explores how suggestion works, why some people are more suggestible than others, and how placebo effects influence a wide range of medical and psychological interventions.Using research from cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry, Devin will explain how expectations interact with brain processes to shape awareness, perception, and wellbeing.This evening is designed to be accessible, thought-provoking, and interactive. No prior neuroscience knowledge required.SpeakerDr Devin B. Terhune, PhDReader in Experimental PsychologyInstitute of Psychiatry, Psychology & NeuroscienceKing’s College LondonDr Terhune’s research combines cognitive neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychiatry to understand different features of awareness. His work focuses particularly on dissociative states and how experience can be altered through verbal suggestion and pharmacological interventions.He completed his PhD at Lund University in Sweden and has previously held research positions at the University of Oxford and Goldsmiths, University of London.Event Schedule19:00 – 19:30 Arrival & Warm-Up ActivityGuest arrival and informal connection.
