Dr. Eran Stark, MD PhD In our lab we study the way networks of spiking neurons give rise to memory. We aim to understand the local circuit mechanisms which underlie memory -…

Dr. Yair Dor-Ziderman, PhD My research focuses on the neural and phenomenological correlates of the sense of self, its dissolution through meditation, and the neural mechanisms which maintain its integrity…

Dr. David Deutsch, PhD My lab’s goal is to reveal how neural circuits implement the computations needed for social communication. We aim to understand how multisensory signals are integrated with…

Prof. Roy Salomon, PhD The Salomon lab focuses on the cognitive and neural processes underlying the sense of "Self" and the sense of "Reality". We study healthy and clinical populations using…

Dr. Smadar Ovadia-Caro, PhD I am interested in plasticity at the behavioral and neural levels. I want to understand neural mechanisms underlying behavioral plasticity. In my lab we study basic…

Dr. Noga Cohen, PhD My research studies the ways in which emotion, attention and cognitive control shape human behavior and experience. In the lab, we use a combination of behavioral,…

Dr. Shani Stern, PhD Our lab studies mechanisms of brain disorders using patient-derived neurons and organoids. We start from a patient’s blood sample and reprogram his blood cells into induced…

Dr. Uri Hertz, PhD Human knowledge relies on social learning and teaching. Most of what we know comes not from first-hand experience, but by learning from others, and by adhering…
