| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP").
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company finances its operations in U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's operations are currently conducted in Israel, a significant part of the Company's expenses are denominated and determined in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company's transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). All transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alcobra Ltd. and its Subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition.
Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year. The short–term bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's bank deposits were in U.S. dollars and bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 0.42%.
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following rates:
The Company's property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. In 2013 and 2012, no impairment losses have been identified.
Long-term deposits include long-term deposits for office lease prepaid deposit and motor vehicles under operating leases, presented at their cost.
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Those expenses include payments to third party clinical consultants, expenses related to conducting clinical and pre-clinical trials, salaries and related personnel expenses, travel expenses, and share based compensation expenses to research and development employees. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, no grants were received.
The Company's liability for its Israeli employees regarding severance pay is pursuant to Section 14 of the Israeli severance pay law ("Section 14"). All the Israeli employees are included under this section, and entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in the employee's name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. The fund is made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is terminated, regardless of cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not reflected in the balance sheet as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds. Severance pay expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, amounted to $ 26, $ 18 and $ 14, respectively.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). This topic prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company implements a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company believes that its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and short term bank deposit. Cash and cash equivalents and short term bank deposit are invested in major banks in Israel and the deposits in the U.S. may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
The Company has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments.
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year plus dilutive potential equivalent ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share, since they would have an anti-dilutive effect, was 873,031, 537,690 and 561,198 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation"("ASC 718") that requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the option award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statements of operations based on the accelerated method. The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option-pricing model as the fair value method for of its stock-options awards. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions as noted below: Expected dividend yield - The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical experience and expectation of no future dividend payouts. The Company has historically not paid cash dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay cash dividends in the future. Volatility - Since the Company's shares started trading in NASDAQ in May 2013, sufficient quoted prices of the Company's share are unavailable. Due to insufficient historical data for the Company, the expected volatility determination was based on similar companies' stock volatility. Risk free interest rate - The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S Treasury bonds with equivalent terms. Expected term - ASC 718 provides the factors to consider when estimating the expected term of an option: An option's expected term must at least include the vesting period and the employees' historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior for similar grants. It also determines that if the amount of past exercise data is limited, that data may not represent a sufficiently large sample on which to base a robust conclusion on expected exercise behavior. In that circumstance, it may be appropriate to consider external data or the SEC staff's "simplified" method for the expected term. Accordingly, The Company used the "simplified" method, meaning the expected life can be set as the average of the vesting period for each vested tranche of options and the contractual term for those options. |

Taxable income of Israeli companies is subject to tax at the rate of 25% in 2012 and in 2013 and a rate of 26.5% commencing January 1, 2014.
The federal tax rates applicable to the Company whose place of incorporation is within the U.S. are corporate (progressive) tax at the rate of up to 35%, excluding state tax, which rates depend on the state in which the Company conducts its business.
Alcobra Ltd. has accumulated losses for tax purposes in Israel as of December 31, 2013 in the amount of approximately $ 10,241 which may be carried forward and offset against taxable income in the future for an indefinite period.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:
All deferred taxes are domestic. Management currently believes that since the Company has a history of losses it is more likely than not that the deferred tax regarding the loss carry forward and other temporary differences will not be realized in the foreseeable future.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Dec. 31, 2013
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions. The Company's management believes that the estimates, judgments and assumptions used are reasonable based upon information available at the time they are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Financial Statements [Policy Text Block] |
The Company finances its operations in U.S. dollars. The majority of the Company's operations are currently conducted in Israel, a significant part of the Company's expenses are denominated and determined in U.S. dollars. The Company's management believes that the dollar is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates and expects to continue to operate in the foreseeable future. Thus, the functional and reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The Company's transactions and balances denominated in U.S. dollars are presented at their original amounts. Non-dollar transactions and balances have been remeasured to U.S. dollars in accordance with ASC 830, "Foreign Currency Matters", of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). All transaction gains and losses from remeasurement of monetary balance sheet items denominated in non-dollar currencies are reflected in the statements of operations as financial income or expenses, as appropriate. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alcobra Ltd. and its Subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less at acquisition. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Short Term Deposit [Policy Text Block] |
Short-term bank deposits are deposits with maturities of more than three months but less than one year. The short–term bank deposits are presented at their cost, including accrued interest, which approximates fair value. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's bank deposits were in U.S. dollars and bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 0.42%. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following rates:
The Company's property and equipment are reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, "Property, Plant, and Equipment," whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. In 2013 and 2012, no impairment losses have been identified. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Long Term Deposit [Policy Text Block] |
Long-term deposits include long-term deposits for office lease prepaid deposit and motor vehicles under operating leases, presented at their cost. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Research and Development Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Those expenses include payments to third party clinical consultants, expenses related to conducting clinical and pre-clinical trials, salaries and related personnel expenses, travel expenses, and share based compensation expenses to research and development employees. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, no grants were received. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Severance Pay [Policy Text Block] |
The Company's liability for its Israeli employees regarding severance pay is pursuant to Section 14 of the Israeli severance pay law ("Section 14"). All the Israeli employees are included under this section, and entitled only to monthly deposits, at a rate of 8.33% of their monthly salary, made in the employee's name with insurance companies. Payments in accordance with Section 14 release the Company from any future severance payments in respect of those employees. The fund is made available to the employee at the time the employer-employee relationship is terminated, regardless of cause of termination. The severance pay liabilities and deposits under Section 14 are not reflected in the balance sheet as the severance pay risks have been irrevocably transferred to the severance funds. Severance pay expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, amounted to $ 26, $ 18 and $ 14, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes". This topic prescribes the use of the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liability account balances are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Company implements a two-step approach to recognize and measure uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that, on an evaluation of the technical merits, the tax position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% (cumulative basis) likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company believes that its tax positions are all highly certain of being upheld upon examination. As such, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company has not recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, and short term bank deposit. Cash and cash equivalents and short term bank deposit are invested in major banks in Israel and the deposits in the U.S. may be in excess of insured limits and are not insured in other jurisdictions. Generally, these deposits may be redeemed upon demand and therefore bear minimal risk. The Company has no off-balance-sheet concentration of credit risk such as foreign exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
The Company has no financial instruments that are measured at fair value. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, short term bank deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term maturities of such instruments. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] |
Basic net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. Diluted net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year plus dilutive potential equivalent ordinary shares considered outstanding during the year, in accordance with ASC 260, "Earnings per Share." The total weighted average number of shares related to the outstanding options and warrants excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share, since they would have an anti-dilutive effect, was 873,031, 537,690 and 561,198 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] |
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation"("ASC 718") that requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the option award is recognized as an expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's statements of operations based on the accelerated method. The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton ("Black-Scholes") option-pricing model as the fair value method for of its stock-options awards. The option-pricing model requires a number of assumptions as noted below: Expected dividend yield - The expected dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical experience and expectation of no future dividend payouts. The Company has historically not paid cash dividends and has no foreseeable plans to pay cash dividends in the future. Volatility - Since the Company's shares started trading in NASDAQ in May 2013, sufficient quoted prices of the Company's share are unavailable. Due to insufficient historical data for the Company, the expected volatility determination was based on similar companies' stock volatility. Risk free interest rate - The risk free interest rate is based on the yield of U.S Treasury bonds with equivalent terms. Expected term - ASC 718 provides the factors to consider when estimating the expected term of an option: An option's expected term must at least include the vesting period and the employees' historical exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior for similar grants. It also determines that if the amount of past exercise data is limited, that data may not represent a sufficiently large sample on which to base a robust conclusion on expected exercise behavior. In that circumstance, it may be appropriate to consider external data or the SEC staff's "simplified" method for the expected term. Accordingly, The Company used the "simplified" method, meaning the expected life can be set as the average of the vesting period for each vested tranche of options and the contractual term for those options. |
