Or maybe it’s the wrong question? Does the binary division extend beyond the genit alia into the human brain and mind? And why do we care? I devoted the past decade to answering these questions. With my lab members\, we analysed th e structure of over 20\,000 human brains\, and the psychological character istics of over 10\,000 people. In this talk I’ll present the results of th ese analyses and my conclusion – sex-related variables (e.g.\, hormones) a ffect brain structure and function\, but these effects do not add-up consi stently in individuals to create ‘male’ and ‘female’ brains or ‘natures’. Instead\, each brain is comprised of a unique mosaic of both female-typica l and male-typical features. Similarly\, each individual possesses a uniqu e mix of both feminine and masculine psychological traits. The brain and g ender mosaic defies the mainstream binary understanding of gender and has practical implications for the way we understand ourselves and the world a round us. I invite you to a fascinating look at the science of gender\, se x and the brain\, and how freeing ourselves from the gender binary can hel p us all reach our full human potential.\nDaphna Joel is a professor of Ne uroscience and Psychology\, at the School of Psychological Sciences and th e Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel-Aviv University. She studies questio ns related to brain\, sex and gender. In her research\, Joel uses various analytical methods to analyse diverse datasets\, from large collections of brain scans to information obtained with self-report questionnaires. In a series of papers\, she has described and tested the ‘mosaic’ hypothesis. Other studies focused on the perception of gender identity and its relatio n to sexuality. Ongoing studies attempt to characterize the relations betw een sex and brain structure and function.
