Roy Luria
PhD Students:
Yael Schems Maimon
I am interested in semantic learning and how it creates LTM and WM representations.
Reut Peled
I study the mechanism of predictive encoding and future representations in visual working memory.
Shachar Lando
I am interested in objects and the relations within and between them.
MA Students:
Yogev Talias
My research explores how the cognitive system prioritizes predictability over speed in certain tasks.
Inbal Shmuel
I am investigating the accuracy of negative facial expression memory and examining Cross-Domain Associations (CDA) in visual cognition.
Alon Tel-Paz
I study the pointer system in visual working memory, and I’m interested in understanding how the pointers and visual working memory interact.
Maya Peled
I study visual working memory capacity with a specific interest in the impact of sequential, gradual item presentation on encoding limits and memory replacement processes.
Lab Manager:
Ayelet Ramaty
Alumni:
Ayala Allon
Former PhD student at the lab, focused on the available mechanisms that provide visual working memory the means to deal with the extreme limitations in its capacity.
Currently works as a Data Scientist.
Halely Balaban
Former PhD student at the lab. Halely studied the representations of objects in visual working memory, and how these representations are dynamically updated. Currently a postdoctoral fellow at MIT’s Brain and Cognitive Science department.
Maya Ankaoua
Former PhD student at the lab, focused on the role of visual working memory in mental manipulations.
Anna Vaskevich
Former PhD student at the lab, focused on the relationship between individual differences in working memory capacity and implicit learning.
Shani Friedman
Former PhD student at the lab, focused on visual working memory representations.
Lee Nimni
Former MA student at the lab, studied the question of whether objects are represented as integrated objects or as single features.
Lior Nemni
I am interested in the ability to enhance and degrade the encoding of visual long-term memory.
Sharon Nemni
I am interested in the interactions between representations currently held in working memory.
Polina Krivykh
I am interested in cognitive placebo effect and interactions between visual working memory and attention.
Dina Aronsky
Former MA student at the lab. Dina studied the ability of visual working memory to switch between the updating and resetting processes based on exposure to previous stimuli.
Dana Assaf
Former MA student at the lab. Dana studied the question of whether objects are represented as integrated objects or as single features.
Hagar Cohen
Former MA student at the lab. Hagar studied working memory encoding strategies.
Aviv Hadashi

Shir Szwarcberg
Former MA student at the lab. Shir studied filtering strategies in working memory and how to improve them.
Gili Vixman
Former MA student at the lab. Gili investigated individual differences in visual working memory, and focused on the interaction between filtering and grouping.
