Prof. Simone Shamay-Tsoory is a professor of psychology at the University of Haifa, Israel. Her research focuses on uncovering the neural mechanisms that underlie social behavior and emotional processing, with particular emphasis on empathy, social communication, and interpersonal synchrony. She investigates these processes across both neurotypical and clinical populations, employing a range of methodologies including functional neuroimaging (fMRI, fNIRS), and psychopharmacological interventions to elucidate the neurobiological substrates of social cognition.
