My research at the Affective Brain Lab aims to identify the mechanism through which small acts of risk-taking gradually escalate to extreme behaviors, using behavioral, physiological, and neural methodologies. The Ph.D. is supervised by Prof. Tali Sharot and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Studentship and the UCL doctoral school. Before joining the lab, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Social Psychology, summa cum laude, at the University of Haifa. My master’s thesis compared three versions of the bipolar valence-arousal model at the neural domain using fMRI. For over six years, I investigated in the lab of Dr. Assaf Kron the neural foundation and structure of the conscious experience of emotions.
