Yair Dor-Ziderman is a researcher at the Safra Brain Research Center at the University of Haifa, specializing in neurophenomenology, self-consciousness, and the neuroscience of death-related cognition and mortality salience. His broader work explores how the brain processes the prospect of death and how altered states — including meditation and psychedelics — affect self-boundaries and existential experience. He has collaborated with ICEERS researchers on studies of ayahuasca.
