Bio/Research
Elliot Berkman is an academic expert in addiction, obesity, goal setting, motivation and self-control. He studies how people pursue their goals, including eating habits, exercise, smoking, and addiction. At the University of Oregon, he is a professor of psychology, the director of the Center for Translational Neuroscience and the director of the Social & Affective Neuroscience Lab. Elliot warns that it is not a lack of self-control that urges us to eat that midnight snack. His paper on ego depletion found that self-control is not a limitless resource that runs dry as the day goes on. Elliot has also studied the impact of marijuana use on the brains of children and young adults.
