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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
