In a study published in Neuropsychologia, researchers from Bar-Ilan University, in collaboration with the Paris Brain Institute, delved into the neurological underpinnings of humor experienced during movie viewing. By examining intracranial neural responses among moviegoers, the team discovered a distinctive cerebral electrical orchestration associated with the funniest sequences in Charlie Chaplin’s film.
Bar-Ilan University Rector Prof. Amnon Albeck has announced the appointment of Prof. Orly Avni as the new dean of the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine. An associate professor of immunology who studies regulation of gene expression in the immune system in health and disease, Avni completed her doctoral studies at the Hebrew University and a post-doctorate at Harvard University.
The awarded researchers encompass a wide range of fields, all of which hold the potential to greatly impact and enhance our lives in the future:
Prof. Ronny Geva, Department of Psychology
Dr. Ayal Hendel, of BIU’s Goodman Faculty of Life Sciences, and his partners, have developed an innovative software tool for evaluating and measuring errors that occur during CRISPR editing
Marking two decades of extraordinary academic, educational and cultural activities and achievements, Bar-Ilan University's Salti Institute for Ladino Studies celebrated its 20th anniversary and raised an enthusiastic toast to the next 20 years of achievement.
Meet Bnaya Gross, a student in BIU’s Presidential Fellowship of Excellence program, who studies critical phenomena in dependent physical networks, under the guidance of Prof. Shlomo Havlin, laureate of the Israel Prize for Physics (2017).
The field of neuroscience is continually pushing the boundaries of our understanding of the human brain. In the quest to unravel the complexities of Alzheimer's disease, scientists like Kuldeep Tripathi, a dedicated researcher from India, are making remarkable contributions to the field. With a focus on the brains of Alzheimer's patients, Tripathi's work at Bar-Ilan University in Israel is shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of the disease and exploring potential therapies.
