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&#8217;s degree in Psychology and a master&#8217;s degree in Social Psychology, <em>summa cum laude<\/em>, at the University of Haifa. My master&#8217;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.<\/p>\r\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\r\n<p><strong>Contacts<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>Email :\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:hajali.hadeel5@gmail.com\">hajali.hadeel5@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>Google Scholar :\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.co.il\/citations?user=jKFZ1VgAAAAJ&amp;hl=iw\">https:\/\/scholar.google.co.il\/citations?user=jKFZ1VgAAAAJ&amp;hl=iw<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>ResearchGate : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Hadeel-Haj-Ali\">https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Hadeel-Haj-Ali<\/a> \u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<div>\r\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, serif;\"><strong>Haj-Ali, H.<\/strong>, Glickman, M. &amp; Sharot, T.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44271-025-00319-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s44271-025-00319-1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1773924721188000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2IM45wyYPp71WCYLkXMDkd\">Escalating risk-taking is linked to emotional habituation<\/a>.\u00a0<i>Commun Psychol<\/i>\u00a03, 139 (2025).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: georgia, serif;\">Argaman, Y*.,\u00a0<strong>Haj-Ali, H*<\/strong>., &amp; Kron, A.
