Ruth Feldman

Ruth Feldman is the Simms-Mann Professor of Developmental Social Neuroscience at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzlia with joint appointment at Yale Child Study Center. Her conceptual model on biobehavioral synchrony explores how the lived experience of bonding builds the brain, fosters relationships, confers resilience, and promotes creativity. Dr. Feldman is the recipient of 2020 EMET prize, Israel’s highest prize in arts and sciences, among many awards—from a Rothschild award to a NARSAD independent investigator award (twice).
