Eti Ben-Simon Ph.D.

Eti Ben-Simon, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist in The Center for Human Sleep Science at the University of California Berkeley. She received her Ph.D. in neuroscience from Tel Aviv University in Israel and has been fascinated with the science of sleep ever since.

Using functional MRI and electrical brain recordings she examines the neural processes that underlie emotional and social dysregulation following lack of sleep and the restoration of these processes after a restful night of sleep.
