Lorimer Moseley
Why do we hurt?
Do we actually experience pain, or is it merely illusion?
Lorimer Moseley will explore these questions, and position the pain that we feel as our bodies’ way of protecting us from damaging tissues further. He will also look at what this might mean for those who suffer from chronic pain.
Lorimer Moseley is the Professor of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of South Australia. His research aims to better understand chronic pain and how we can treat it without drugs. After eight years in clinical practice, Moseley undertook a PhD in Neuroscience. In 2004, he was appointed Nuffield Medical Research Fellow at Oxford University, UK. In 2009 he returned to Australia. He has written over 100 scholarly works, including three books. His many awards include the prestigious Ulf Lindblom Award for the outstanding clinical scientist working in a pain-related field.
