Research Focus
Belief, disbelief, truth evaluation, misinformation, source trust, and how people align with narratives.
PhD candidate / cognitive and social neuroscience
Belief, trust, language and the brain.
I'm a PhD candidate in the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University, advised by Prof. Yaara Yeshurun and Prof. Einat Shetreet.
My research focuses on the cognitive and neural mechanisms of belief, truth, and misinformation. I use behavioral experiments and fMRI to understand how people process (un)reliable information and how they evaluate trust in sources.
I am starting a postdoctoral position at Dartmouth in Prof. Emily Finn's lab.
Methods
Behavioral experiments, fMRI analysis, inter-subject correlation, machine learning, and experiment building.
Tools
Python, MATLAB, R, FSL, SPM, PsychoPy, Psychotoolbox, scikit-learn, and PyTorch.
