The Tony Montgomery Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jason Moser, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Michigan State University and director of the Clinical Psychophysiology Lab, to explore what the brain’s response to errors, emotions, and internal conflict reveals about mental health. Dr. Moser’s groundbreaking research on cognitive control, anxiety, emotion regulation, and resilience sheds light on why some people struggle more with worry and perfectionism—and how simple tools like journaling, mindfulness, and even belief in placebo can help us manage emotional challenges. From neural biomarkers like the ERN and LPP to personalized, low-cost interventions, we dive into the science that connects our brains to our behavior, and what it means for creating a more compassionate, adaptive approach to mental health.
