Lorin Lachs received his Bachelor's degree with a double major in Neuroscience and Psychology from Brandeis University. After taking a gap year working for the IRB at UCSF in San Francisco, he went on to do his doctoral work at Indiana University Bloomington, eventually receiving a joint doctoral degree in Cognitive Science and Psychology.
