Dr. Shahar Arzy studied medicine (MD) and cognitive neuroscience (MA) at the Hebrew University and holds a PhD in neuroscience from the University of Geneva. Specializing in the human cortex, he now works in the clinic of neuropsychiatry and the epilepsy center presurgical evaluation unit at the department of neurology at Hadassah Hebrew University Medical Center, and leading the Neuropsychiatry Lab. 

His main interest is the human self and its subjective experience in physiological and pathological states. He is involved in developing new tools for evaluation and management of neuropsychiatric patients, and puts special efforts in translating clinical and scientific ideas into cultural and philosophical frameworks.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
