Bad habits, compulsive thoughts, irrational decisions — we're all plagued
by them to varying degrees. But where do they come from? And what can we do
to break the habit? Or, can people with issues like obsessive-compulsive
disorder find successful treatment?
In this episode, we'll answer all of those questions and more with Dr
Claire Gillan, who works in the field of cognitive and behavioral
neuroscience. Claire applies behavioral sciences, psychophysiology, and
neuro-imaging techniques to unravel the complicated web of learning, habit
formation, and human behavior — with a focus on obsessive-compulsive
disorder.
