🚨 New paper alert 🚨 We were interested whether humans better remember stimuli in a nocebo compared to a placebo framework (using a "better safe than sorry" strategy). What did we do and what did we find?

Tell us your placebo/nocebo story! 💬 Have you ever experienced treatment expectations such as placebo or nocebo effects in real life? Or know friends and family who have? 🤔 For example, who doesn't remember how our parents just made the pain go away with a kiss? 😚

The SFB/TRR 289 Treatment Expectation joins the effort of many labs helping scientists affected by the #WarInUkraine2022. We support researchers of all levels Bingel Laboratory (Bingellab) Medizinische Fakultät Essen working on pain, placebo/nocebo effects & treatment expectation. For more info write to [email protected]!
