Who we
are
Computer science & cognition (M.Sc., TAU), Neurobiology (Ph.D., WIS), and Sleep research (Postdoc, UW-Madison)
understanding sensory disconnection in sleep, anesthesia, and related states; functional organization of LC-NE neuromodulation; how sleep supports learning and memory; and understanding how sleep changes in neuropsychiatric disorders
I love percussion & running
Medical Sciences (B.Sc.,TAU) and Neuroscince (Ph.D., TAU)
Neuromodulatory effects on functional connectivity. I work on optogenetic fMRI of LC-NE activity to characterize functional LC brain networks
I enjoy workout walking (super underrated!), pilates and reading
Computer Science & Neuroscience (B.Sc., Bar-Ilan Uni.). M.Sc. in Neuroscience (TAU)
the neural mechanisms supporting consciousness and behavioral responsiveness. Specifically, what neural changes accompany different levels of arousal – from wakefulness to sleep-deprivation, sleep and anesthesia – that may account for the dramatic changes in behavior.
reading nonfiction, Spanish, Texas Hold’em poker, interested in philosophy and anything meta.
Experimental psychology (M.Sc., Bern) and cognitive neuroscience (Ph.D., Bern)
Understanding how sleep modifies (episodic) memories, exploring sleep as an altered state of consciousness, and learning during sleep.
Psychology, Cognitive science and Neuroscience (B.A., Ben-Gurion University). M.Sc. in Neurobiology (WIS)
memory consolidation processes during sleep and in generalization processes during sleep and wake following reinforcement learning.
I love to draw, create crafts with my kids, and to travel to beautiful places.
Biology, Psychology, and Neuroscience (B.Sc., TAU). M.Sc. in neuroscience (TAU).
discerning between behavioral and perceptual arousal. My research focuses on the Locus Coeruleus noradrenaline system (LC-NA) and its influence on the sleep-wake cycle and disengagement from the environment.
I love drawing and reading books.
Computer Science (B.Sc., College of Management). Software Engineering Team Leader at Medtronic.
the connection of sleep to different human pathologies, such as epilepsy and Alzheimer.
I love gymnastics training and playing drums.
Computer Science and Cognitive Science (B.Sc., Open University). Software Engineer at Allot. Software Engineer at Microsoft
studying episodic memory and its neural basis without explicit report
Build things. poker. board games. travel to exotic destinations
Electrical engineering (B.Sc., Technion), Physics (B.Sc., Technion), Hardware engineering team leader at IDF.
Changes in neuronal response to auditory stimulations during falling asleep.
I love Playing basketball, travelling and of course – sleeping.
Biomedical Engineering & Neuroscience (B.Sc., TAU).
developing a new method, based on advanced imaging modalities, to improve pupillometry in clinical contexts
Sport is my addiction. Recently I have started to sculpt paper mache, I hope to stick with that too.
Ph.D. student (2013-2018)
biology & philosophy
neuropharmacology and sensory perception
Ph. D. Student
Computer Science & Neuroscience (B.Sc., Bar-Ilan Uni.). M.Sc. in Neuroscience (TAU)
the properties and mechanisms of the sensory disconnection of sleep along the auditory processing hierarchy.
Board game nights, with milkshakes and pizzas.
now: Harvard
Ph. D Postdoctoral Fellow (2014-2019)
computer science, physics and cognitive neuroscience
Neural basis of sensory disconnection during sleep
Chief Scientist in Actiview.io
Ph. D M.Sc. student (2014-2016)
Biomedical Engineering (B.Sc., Technion)
: optogenetics and sleep
Ph. D
Cognitive Science & Economics (B.A., Hebrew Uni), Neuroscience (M.Sc., TAU)
neural activity during sleep underlying changes in memory consolidation in aging and dementia. As well as, brain modulation using non-invasive transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation.
: When not in front of a screen, I love surf-skiing Mediterranean oscillations, gardening and playing with my dog.
M.Sc. student (2014-2016)
Neuronal tracking of speech during wakefulness and sleep (in collaboration with Elana Zion Golumbic at Bar Ilan U.)
PhD Student in the lab of Elana Zion Golumbic at Bar Ilan University.
Experimental & Theoretical Physics (Masters, Cambridge), Medical Degree (Oxford), Residency in Anaesthesia, Hadasssah Hospital
understanding the neural mechanisms of loss of consciousness and sensory disconnection under anaesthesia.
I love hiking in nature, but in reality, spend most of my time in the hospital, in the lab, or looking after my 3 kids.
Psychology Biology & Neuroscience (B.Sc., Ben Gurion University)
the role of sleep in memory consolidation and learning in health and disease.
I love acro-yoga jams, sunset runs and Tahini
Electrical Engineering (B.Sc., Technion), Computational Neuroscience (Ph.D., WIS, Ulanovsky lab).
studying the neural correlates of memory processes during sleep in humans and exploring whether brain stimulation during sleep may be an effective avenue for enhancing memory.
Yoga is my retreat and I love exploring new places and cultures.
