I am an associate professor at the Musicology Dept. at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. I study different aspects of our ability to process, remember, and respond emotionally to music. I am interested in aspects related to musical expectations, surprise, and tension, cross modal associations in music, music perception in a cross-cultural perspective and music and well-being. I see my students as companions in a fascinating journey and my mission and joy is to help them follow the route that takes them one step closer towards understanding the questions they are passionate about.
