According to Jean Paul Sartre<\/a> (one of my favourite writers and philosophers), we have no fixed essences; rather we continuously shape ourselves through our actions. Thus we are what we do<\/em>. That\u2019s fair, so I will say here few words about the things that I did so far, focusing on my research. I believe, though, that Sartre\u2019s view of what we are is somewhat limited. We are more than what we do, and what we do is often luck dependent. One aspect of what we are, for example, is what moves us<\/em>, so I will also say few things about this in these pages, as well as of my views on some wider issues like religion and politic<\/em>s (please handle with care\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Early days<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n PhD time and Tel-Aviv of the late 80s<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Postdocs: Caltech, CMU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research and life in the UK<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2008, I returned to Tel-Aviv University as a Prof. of Psychology. In our lab, we focus on various aspects of decision-making: i) characterizing the mechanism of evidence integration and termination<\/a>; ii) bridging from evidence to value-based decisions<\/a>, iii)decision-making under non-stationary evidence<\/a>, iv) decision under spatial uncertainty (Visual search); v) decision-confidence, v) intuition in decision-making<\/a>.
