Norman Farb, PhD is an Associate Professor in Psychology at the University of Toronto Mississauga, where he directs the Regulatory and Affective Dynamics laboratory (www.radlab.zone). A Fellow at the Mind & Life Institute, he studies the cognitive neuroscience of well-being, focusing on mental habits, such as how we think about ourselves and interpret our emotions. His current research explores online interventions to support well-being, and neuroimaging of interoception, our sense of the body’s internal state. He has been continually supported by the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC) and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) for his entire career. He was the co-recipient of the inaugural Mind and Life Catherine Kerr Award for Courageous and Compassionate Scholarship.
His recent book, Better in Every Sense, describes the surprising role of sensation in mental health.
