Hi! My name is Shamay – I'm a product manager, science communicator, and ex-neuroscience researcher.

With Brain Street, the goal is to break down concepts from cognitive neuroscience to be more accessible and applicable to everyday life.

Think of this as the opposite of pop psychology – I try to be accurate and interpret the science with healthy skepticism. Here's the pitch: I'll handle the hours of research and you get the takeaways without the work.

So far, I’ve touched on music, learning, memory, metaphors, attention, creativity, metacognition, time, and brain-computer interfaces.

I also write the Friday Brainstorm newsletter. It’s two emails a month with everything interesting I’ve read or found related to neuroscience.
