Yale psychiatry researcher Hedy Kober discusses her work on craving, addiction, and mindfulness-based interventions in this installment of Yale's Experts in Emotion interview series, hosted by June Gruber. Kober describes what drew her to studying emotion and craving, then spends the bulk of the conversation, roughly sixteen minutes, walking through core findings from her lab on how mindfulness techniques can regulate craving states linked to addiction and overeating. She discusses neuroimaging approaches used to track craving in the brain and how strategic reappraisal can dampen it. The interview closes with her predictions for where the field is headed and practical advice for students or researchers wanting to enter emotion science. The format is a seated one-on-one conversation with chapter markers, not a classroom lecture, but the middle section offers a genuine, detailed account of a specific research program on craving regulation.
