Dr. Amir Raz is Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at Columbia  
University. He is recipient of the 2006 Young Investigator Award from  
the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression  
(NARSAD) and was also recipient of the 2005 American Psychological  
Association’s Early Career Award (Division 30).  His research  
interests span cognitive neuroscience and imaging investigations of  
attention, hypnosis, and attentional alterations in neuropsychiatric  
illnesses. This should be an exceptional lecture from a dynamic  
neuroimaging cognitive scientist.
