Des pilules sucrées, des injections de rien : les études montrent, plus souvent qu'on pourrait le croire, que les placebos marchent vraiment. À TEDMED, le magicien Eric Mead fait un tour pour prouver que même quand vous savez que quelque chose n'est pas réel, votre réaction peut être aussi puissante que pour elle l'était. Attention : cette conférence n'est pas recommandée à ceux qui ne supportent pas la vue du sang ou des aiguilles.

Eric Mead is a prolific magician, mentalist and comedian who worked his way up from doing magic on the street to appearing at exclusive events around the world. Full bio »
