Ben-Gurion University researcher awarded Joy Neuro-Wellness Grant for Stress Management Tools

(American Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) According to Dr. Michael Gilead, head of the Social Cognitive Neuroscience Laboratory at BGU, 'We found that the brain's response to negative affect-inducing stimuli may be modulated by neural mechanisms that subserve the ability to process the mental states of other individuals. In other words, triggering empathy can help overcome stress in the empathizing person. We will now harness this discovery in order to develop future relief for stress.'
