About me

Hi! This is Gal. I’m a Researcher at the Henkaku Center at Chiba Institute of Technology. Most recently, I worked as a Project Manager for Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan.

I was a PhD student in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT working with Rebecca Saxe and Mike Frank, where I studied computational mechanisms of visual attention and built automated tools for behavioral testing.

I did my MSc in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford, where I worked on non-invasive brain stimulation protocols for cognitive enhancement. Before that, I studied cognitive neuroscience and statistics at University College Utrecht.

After each degree program, I make a point of taking a gap year. So far, I spent this time as a visiting researcher at Hitachi R&D in Japan, volunteering at a school in the north of India and studying Vipassana meditation (as taught by S.N. Goenka). Before that, I grew up in Münster and Göttingen, two beautiful unversity towns in Germany.
