We are launching the Center for Cognitive Development in the School of Psychological Sciences at Tel Aviv University and are looking for talented people who want to grow with the lab.

We were recently awarded with a five-year research grant from the Israel Science Foundation and an Alon Scholarship for integration of new faculty in Israel.

Learning in infancy - underlying mechanisms
Using fNIRS, we uncover the underlying cortical mechanisms that support learning in early infancy and in preterm infants.
Adaptation time scale in developmental disorders
With EEG, we quantified the a-typical time scales of adaptation in individuals with dyslexia and in individuals with ASD.
Video-based co-registration for fNIRS/EEG
We developed a novel method for estimating the position of probes on infants' head using commodity equipment.
Mapping the cortical distribution of adaptation time-scale
We found that in dyslexia, the a-typical short time-scale of adaptation is wide-spread throughout the cortex.
Computational modeling of learning in infancy
Using pupillometry, we track how infants update their prediction through reinforcement learning.
