Albert Moukheiber

Albert Moukheiber is a French-Lebanese neuroscientist and clinical psychologist who works at the interface of brain science and everyday judgment. His book Your Brain Is Playing Tricks On You explains — with clarity and humour — the cognitive biases and mechanisms behind our false beliefs and emotional responses.

Moukheiber has lectured on the neurobiology of beliefs and runs workshops training doctors and professionals to make better decisions. His popular writing sympathises with the frailty of our perceptual equipment while showing how science can make us more lucid, less anxious and better citizens.
