Description

Welcome to Season 2 of Noggin - The Simple Psychology Podcast! McKay and Ben have been hard at work (and also relaxing hard over break) creating new episodes to share with you all and we are finally back! Today we discuss research looking at what goes on inside your brain when you feel pain, when you see someone you love in pain, and what that means for you and your relationships.

Scientific research is more accessible now than ever before. Research has the potential to help us live better, happier lives. However, it can be hard to find and hard to understand. We take relevant research and describe it in a simple and exciting way that can be understood by anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their life. Ben & McKay are students at Brigham Young University. We are studying psychology and neuroscience, and have multiple years of research experience as research assistants.
