Comedians on Campus - Omri Hacohen

Episode 12: "Funny Improvisation is a Product of Context and Synchronization" We host Omri Hacohen (actor and comedian, participant in the podcast "Mitachat LeKol Bikoret") and welcome him into the Brain Bank — a collective of brilliant minds that includes climbers, chess masters, mathematicians… and comedians.

At the Department of Psychology, among other topics, we study humor — a phenomenon still not fully understood in psychology. So we bring in professional comedians to talk about humor and also scan their brains to see if there’s something unique in their activity.
