Author Information

Since a young age I have been driven by curiosity and the thirst for knowledge. I read many books about science, and even tried to write some, myself. I was fascinated by animals and read every zoology textbook that came across my path. Later, I became passionate about astronomy, devouring every fact I could find about the stars. Then geology, geography, history... the list goes on. Years later, after serving in the Israeli army, I learned massage therapy and opened my own clinic. Working with the human body fascinated me. But I wasn't satisfied with just learning about the muscular system. I wanted to understand the mind behind the body. I began reading books about psychology and neuroscience, and eventually studied and received a B.Sc. in Brain Science from Bar-Ilan University. Then I immigrated to the USA and worked as a research assistant at the veterans' hospital in Martinez, California. There, I was part of a team that developed a new diagnostic tool for soldiers with brain damage. In Martinez, I met a special man, Bob Rafal, who invited me to be his Ph.D. student at Bangor University in the United Kingdom. My thesis focused on examining patients, who as a result of brain damage, lost the ability to extract meaning from sound (this disorder is called auditory agnosia). While completing my thesis, I also spent many hours developing a new model to explain how primate communication evolved into human speech.
