Name of Supervisor, Host University: Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, University of Ljubljana, Institute of Pathophysiology 1.a TOPIC OF SPECIALISATION Research of placebo effect PHENOMENON & (PERSONAL) GOALS At first the phenomenon of placebo has been a paradox for official medicine: How can something inert make changes in the system? Now it turns out more and more, that there are several physiological pathways, which can be activated or altered due to a placebo effector. This has been robustly shown in clinical environment as well in the laboratory (Xxxxxx et al. 2010). This possible top down control is particularly interesting as it points to important aspects of interaction between consciousness and physiology. Ideally, one should study these interactions using various methods of different disciplines in one experiment. We aim to do so in our project, which will combine different perspectives: on one hand, the first person perspective should shed light on the conscious processes and personality characteristics of the placebo receivers, on the other hand performance tests such as muscle force and work measurement and EEG recording during a cognitive task, one can directly measure physiological parameters. These methods complement each other and this interdisciplinary double- perspective account is likely to be superior to only a single observation method, having less epistemological blindness.
