Comedians on campus - Or Butbul

Episode 9 "A Good Joke Scratches the Right Itch" We host Or Butbul (Actor, voice actor, photographer, advertising professional, video editor, and comedian) 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 brain activity.
