Welcome! 

I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh. I work on questions relating to computational models of brain and cognitive processes, and try to identify why some are more convincing than others, and why finding good models is so difficult. I got my PhD at the Loewenstein lab for decision making, in ELSC center for computational neuroscience at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

During my PhD, I have argued that the widely held belief about neuronal representation, should be reconsidered and investigated the reasons that people imitate others’ behavior in low-feedback environments.

My MA thesis was in philosophy of the cognitive sciences.

This is my complete CV
