DESCRIPTION:Understanding and modulating the multiple dimensions of empathy
 \n\nPhilip Jackson\, PhD\n\nObserving pain in others modulates the level o
 f activity in brain regions involved in the processing of nociceptive stim
 uli. The extent and specificity of this shared representation of suffering
  is not yet fully understood\, and whether the vicarious experience of oth
 er people’s pain is predictive of one’s subsequent helping behaviour remai
 ns unclear. Based on a multiple dimension framework of empathy\, this pres
 entation will discuss recent findings from three different lines of resear
 ch showing how empathy in the context of pain and suffering can evolve\; e
 xperimental pain “overexposure”\, pain exposure in healthcare professional
 s\, and non-invasive brain stimulation to modulate empathic responses. The
  presentation will also introduce EEVEE\, a virtual reality platform desig
 ned to study empathy and its potential physiological markers in an interac
 tive environment. The overreaching objective of the current research progr
 am is to find ways to optimise empathy\, by increasing the benefits of the
  suffering person while minimizing the costs for the caring one.\n\nAbout 
 the speaker\n\nPhilip Jackson\, PhD\, is a Professor at the School of Psyc
 hology\, Faculty of Social Sciences\, Université Laval\, co-director of Co
 nsortium d’imagerie en neurosciences et santé mentale de Québec (CINQ)\, r
 esearcher at CIRRIS and CERVO research centers and member of the College o
 f New Scholars\, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada. Pr
 ofessor Jackson is head of the Cognitive and Social Neuroscience Lab dedic
 ated to the study of human empathy. Funding from the three main national a
 gencies provide a unique multidisciplinary environment to study the physio
 logical and neurophysiological signature of empathy\, using the latest tec
 hnology in brain imaging\, non-invasive brain stimulation and virtual real
 ity. \n
