Our goal is to understand how cognitive and brain capacities such as plasticity, attention, and memory can enhance visual perception in both typical and atypical populations \u2013 e.g. people with autism, visual impairments, and learning disabilities. We use various research methods, including psychophysics, eye tracking, and computational modeling<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2482\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Research Interests<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2482\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2482\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><ul><li><p>Intersection of cognition and perception<\/p><\/li><li><p>The impact of learning and attention on visual perception<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2483\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Educational Background<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2483\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2483\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>2003\u00a0 B.A in Behavioral Science, The Academic College of Tel Aviv,\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Tel Aviv, Israel.<\/span><\/p><p>2006 \u00a0M.A in Cognitive Psychology, The School of Psychological\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Science.
