About this Event

Neuropsychiatry of Mystical Experiences


Event: Neuropsychiatry of Mystical Experiences

Welcome to an exciting journey into the **Neuropsychiatry of Mystical Experiences**. Join us for an exploration of the fascinating connections between the brain, mind, and mystical encounters, led by Professor Shahar Arzy. The program begins with a reception at 5:30PM, followed by the presentation and discussion at 6:30PM.

Shahar Arzy is the Director of the Computational Neuropsychiatry Lab (CNP Lab) at the Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the lead neurologist of the Neuropsychiatry Clinic at Hadassah Medical Center, affiliated with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He received his medical degree and master’s in cognitive science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and PhD from the Swiss Institute of Technology and the University of Geneva under Prof. Olaf Blanke.

Following, he specialized in Neurology at Hadassah Medical Center (Prof. Tamir Ben-Hur) and in Cognitive Neurology in Geneva University Hospital (Prof. Theodor Landis). Shahar also trained in memory research at Harvard University under the mentorship of Prof. Dan Schacter. Shahar profits much from close collaborations and continuous discussions with exceptional researchers and friends worldwide.

Shahar’s main interest is the human self and its relations to the surrounding world – the space in which we live, the river of time who carries our memories and future plans and imagination, and people around us, as well as more conceptual frameworks. To this aim he apply tools from cognitive neuroscience, functional neuroimaging, virtual-reality and computational neuroscience. As an active clinician he is interested in the way in which these relations are disturbed in neuropsychiatry, and especially in Alzheimer’s disease.
