Prof. Shlomit Yuval-Greenberg<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dr. Yuval-Greenberg received her Ph.D. in Psychology from The Hebrew University in 2009. Her dissertation, under the guidance of Prof. Leon Deouell, focused on ocular artifacts and gamma-band activity in EEG. She then completed her postdoctoral training with Prof. David Heeger in in NYU, focusing on visual fMRI and eye movements. Yuval-Greenberg joined the School of Psychological Sciences as a faculty member in 2013.
\nDr. Yuval-Greenberg’s research focuses on cognitive neuroscience of the visual system in humans. Using psychophysics, EEG and fMRI, she is interested in studying visual perception processes. In particular visual awareness, visual attention, object recognition and the relation between eye movements and perception<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amit Zehngut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In my research, I study the signaling role of eye movements in social interactions. Currently, I am interested in the ability to convey and receive information about our attentional state through gaze behavior.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"  <\/p>\n

Orit Shdeeor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I started my academic journey after gaining valuable experience as a neurocognitive therapist in rehabilitation centers. My current research focuses on visual perception and aims to understand the factors that drive our eye movements when spontaneously observing the world around us. I am exploring how the saliency of peripheral stimuli and top-down processes can impact the way we perceive the world. Also, I am examining how these factors may correlate with age-related changes in perception among the elderly population and how it may impact their memory and attention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"  <\/p>\n

Shahar Mesika<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My research primarily focuses on understanding the role of semantic and lexical content in conversations as potential predictors of eye movements. Currently, I am concentrating on developing an appearance-based gaze estimation model, which will serve as a crucial foundation for my subsequent work. This model will enable me to construct a comprehensive dataset of eye movement-labeled conversations. Following this, I plan to build a deep learning model to predict gaze shifts based on conversational content. My research aims to deepen our understanding of the complex interplay between language, eye movements, and visual attention, offering potential applications in human-computer interaction, psychology, and linguistics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yoad Ben Adiva<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In my research, I study the spatiotemporal micro-dynamics of visual attention, with a focus on how attention shifts across time and space within a single eye fixation. I use a combination of eye-tracking, EEG, and computational modeling during controlled visual tasks to investigate how attentional mechanisms operate at millisecond resolution and support broader cognitive functions such as sustained attention and visual exploration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rania Qais<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Within my research, I study the interaction between saccadic eye movements and working memory. Specifically, I explore the utilization of both micro and macro saccades within the memory process, while also investigating the impact on peripheral vision. The primary objective of my study is to unravel the extent to which individuals rely on eye movements as a cognitive strategy to enhance their memory recall.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
