Head of Laboratory: The Laboratory for the Study of Bilingualism Three Research Fields are in Focus at our lab:
Prof. Noga Cohen
Head of Laboratory: Emotion Lab The Emotion Lab, directed by Noga Cohen, studies the ways in which emotion, attention and cognitive control shape human behavior and experience. We use a combination of behavioral, psychophysiological and brain imaging methods to understand adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation processes. We study basic emotion regulation mechanisms and design cognitive […]
Prof. Liat Goldfarb
Head of Laboratory: The Laboratory for Attention Our Team is Studying the Neurocognitive Mechanisms Underlying Attention in Humans. We use a variety of techniques to study attention. This includes behavioral tests that aim to reveal how attention influences our performance and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) that aim to reveal the biological neural properties of attentions […]
Prof. David Share
Head of Laboratory: Literacy and Writing Systems The Literacy and Writing Systems Laboratory is founded on the idea that an understanding of writing system architecture is essential to any theory of literacy learning. Although writing first and foremost represents language, written language is not simply a clone of spoken language, but an additional and unique dimension […]

Head of Laboratory: Cognitive Developmental Lab
Prof. Avi Karni, M. D.
Head of Laboratory: Human Brain and Learning Laboratory Research at the HBL laboratory focuses on the neuro-behavioral constraints that are imposed on the ability of humans to acquire, retain and master novel skills (“how to” knowledge). The studies stem from the notion that human learning and especially the generation of long-term memory reflects a set […]
Prof. Aviva Berkovich-Ohana
Head of Laboratory: The Neuro-phenomenological lab studying brain, mind and behavior The Research in my Lab Focuses on the Neural Mechanisms Underlying Various Meditation Training Techniques, Both in the Context of Basic Science and Consciousness Research, as well as the Context of Applied Science – i.e. their Relevance to Education, Teachers and Students. To this […]
Prof. Asaid Khateb
Head of Laboratory: The Main Laboratory for Neurocognitive Research, The Unit for the Study of the Arabic Language The Main Laboratory for Neurocognitive Research has several devices of diverse technologies that are at the disposal of each of our students and investigators: EEG devices, functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS) devices, Eye-tracking device, Electrode positioning device, Force […]
Prof. Anat Prior
Head of Laboratory: Language Learning and Executive Function Laboratory The Prior Lab Focuses on Better Characterizing and Understanding the Interactions Between two (or more) Languages in a Single Neural and Cognitive System, and Aims to Identify Mechanisms Underlying Individual Differences in Language Learning and Processing. Our goal is for this Research to Foster the Development of […]
Dr. Amit Yashar
Head of Laboratory: Visual Attention and Cognition Lab The Yashar Lab investigates visual perception and cognition, particularly, the processes, which determine how people detect and identify visual features and objects. 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 […]
