I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Psychology at the Hebrew University, and a member of the Affective Neuropsychology Lab, led by Prof. Hillel Aviezer. As a former musician and vocalist, I have always been fascinated by the ability of the human voice to bring people together. In my research, I explore how our voices communicate emotion in daily social interactions. I am particularly interested in context effects in the perception of real-life vocalizations and the role of vocal emotional cues in eliciting empathy and prosocial behavior.
