Collaborations
-
Prof. Amir Amedi — multi-sensory integration, sensory substitution
founding director of The Baruch Ivcher Institute For Brain, Cognition & Technology. We will explore interactions between the senses, including the enhancing of well-being through multisensory environments. The research findings will help us better understand the organization of the brain, paving the way for the development of technologies for sensory and cognitive training.
-
Prof. Ruth Feldman — social interactions, emotional attachment
Director of the Center for Developmental Social Neuroscience We will examine the brain’s response when observing interactions with attachment figures and when watching clips depicting different interactions and emotions. The findings will expand our understanding of the regions of the brain involved in interpersonal relationships. This study will exclusively involve healthy adult volunteers.
-
Dr. Rany Abend — brain mechanisms in psychopathology
Senior Lecturer and director of the Neuroscience of Psychopathology lab at the School of Psychology. In our research, we measure the neurological and biological responses that mediate motivational behavior among those suffering from various mental disorders like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The goal of the research is to characterize the neurological basis of these disorders.
-
Prof. Daniel Levy — memory, attention
Former Dean of Baruch Ivcher School of Psychology We will investigate subsystems of episodic, semantic and perceptual memory and their interactions during surprise events and semantic expectations. We will utilize congruent and incongruent images and record the differences in brain activity to help us characterize the brain mechanisms underlying cognitive states in memory.
