Comedians on Campus - Racheli Rottner

Episode 6 "Revealing the Trick" We host Racheli Rottner (from the podcast "HaPaam Hegzamtem", The House of Podium) 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.
