Comedians on Campus - Tal Friedman

Episode 15: "The Punk of Comedy" We host Tal Friedman (comedian, actor, musician, screenwriter, voice actor and television host) 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.
