Our Story

Drs. Mayim Bialik and Jacob Gisis met in the Neuroscience department as undergraduates at UCLA, bonding over their passion for the human mind. Mayim pursued a doctorate in neuroscience and eventually returned to acting, while Jacob conducted Neuroscience research, including extensive exploration of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and earned a doctorate in clinical psychology. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Gisis has been working in a clinical setting, developing protocols to target common mental health concerns with tremendous results. As Dr. Bialik has maintained a presence as a public science communicator, she has joined with Dr. Gisis to put these protocols to work, enabled by the latest in AI and Cognitive Neuroscience technology.

Amygdalas was founded to transform mental health care by turning cutting-edge interdisciplinary findings into practical, science-backed tools, empowering individuals to tackle anxiety and take control of their nervous systems.
