After CMU, I took on my first academic job as a lecturer in psychology at the University of Kent at Canterbury. Following up on Christof\u2019s hypothesis about the role of (40 Hz) neural synchrony on visual binding, I set up (together with my Kent colleague\u00a0Nick Donnelly<\/a>) to test this via a\u00a0psychophysical experiment<\/a>. Three years later I moved to\u00a0Birkbeck <\/a>College<\/a>, University of London, where I stayed until 2008 (in 2006 I was made a Chair in Cognitive Psychology; see PDF of\u00a0Inaugural talk here<\/a>). At Birkbeck I supervised my first 4 PhD students:\u00a0Eddy Davelaar<\/a>\u00a0(now lecturer at Birkbeck), Samuel Cheadle (paper on the impact of subliminal 50Hz modulation on selective attention<\/a>),\u00a0\u00a0Konstantinos Tsetsos\u00a0<\/a>(now postdocs at the University of Oxford) and Anat Elhalal (Computational psychologist). Together with Eddy and my CMU colleague\u00a0Henk Haarman<\/a>\u00a0and with my TAU colleague\u00a0Yonatan Goshen-Gottstein<\/a>\u00a0we were interested in capacity limitation in memory, and we tried to rescue the classical dual-store Long\/Short-term memory model from a\u00a0premature <\/a>dismissal<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>Among other things, I took a go at the challenge of\u00a0Free-Will and Agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2001, I married Iris, and our children, Noam and Talia (twins) were born in 2006. We all love London (the most beautiful city for us), especially the Hampstead\/Belsize-Park area and the Heath<\/a>, and we try to visit every summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip to the Alps, together with my late Caltech friend, Jorg Krammer. Jorg was a passionate hiker; unfortunately he died of thirst in a Death Valey hike (unlike some of us, he will remain young forever).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With friends (Ariel and Nick) at our London house. The bottle must be tequila, and the discussion must have been of some philosophical nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
