Information

Are you interested in learning how you can train your brain to control your impulses and urges? 

Everyday life is full of temptations, and we need good self-control to resist them. But every now and then, our self-control fails and we can no longer suppress our urges; we take risks we shouldn’t take, or make impulsive decisions that we later regret.

We will tell you the mysterious story of self-control.

This event, led by a research group who study how the human mind controls behaviour, introduces people to the mechanisms involved in resisting temptations. In addition, it explores how self-control may be strengthened via novel training tasks.

Professor Frederick Verbruggen is a cognitive psychologist with interests in executive control, learning and impulsive behaviour.
