I am excited to share my first paper, showing that episodic memory formation is theta rhythmic, is now published in Nature Human Behavior! Check it out here: rdcu.be/e6pzS. Thanks to my PI, Katherine Duncan, and to my collaborators for their support on this journey! Stay tuned for iEEG follow up 🧠
This is how your email finds me [Round who-knows-how-many]
Incredible work by a super talented team! Was lucky to witness it from conceptualization to reality (even when pieces didn't always fall into place, that's real science FYI).
Congratulations and kudos @baror-shira.bsky.social , @ayab.bsky.social and team!
#Throwback!
Two years later, this finding still blows my mind. 🤯
We demonstrated that beliefs about nicotine strength drive dose-dependent signals in the brain, physiologically mimicking the drug itself, even when the actual dose is constant.

Let’s talk about Sniff Logic (disclaimer: I work here) –
We build tools for measuring oral & nasal airflow with research-grade accuracy
What makes us different?
• Research-grade precision, anywhere
• Sync with EEG, fMRI, etc.
• A fraction of the price of most systems

The craziest/loveliest part of departing from @ayab.bsky.social 's lab was this jaw dropping clip they made with KlingAI and a *single* photo of me. I guess this is what you get when you mess with masters of naturalistic stimuli 😱
Such a great gift and now the rest of the world can easily extort me
Yesterday was my last day with the @ayab.bsky.social memory lab at ELSC, @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social. After two and a half wonderful years, going away is bittersweet.
I now look forward to starting a new path as a PI @ Haifa University and to forming new hippocampal-mediated memories.
Thank you💛
It is with profound sadness that we share the devastating news that Eleanor Maguire passed away on January 4th. She was a phenomenally brilliant neuroscientist, with immense passion for her work and many remarkable accomplishments. We will miss her terribly.

Thank you Eitan!!
Thanks Orna, and thank you for the nonstop pep talk in dark times :)
Finally, we can never be fully happy until all our brothers and sisters held captive in Gaza are back home.

It's been a long road, and a huge, heartfelt thank you goes to my mentors for their years of support and guidance 🩶

No website yet, but I think PERL can actually make a good name (I came up with that name before GPTs were around!!!!)
BTW if you want to use PERL for 'Prediction Error'+'Reinforcement Learning' let's talk trademark royalties :)
(I also came up with that one)
Some of the questions that drive us:
*How do idiosyncratic cognitive maps form, with human #olfaction as unique test-case?
*Role of multi-sensory integration in transforming naturalistic experiences into memory?
*Personalized paradigms for studying autobiographical memory disorders e.g. #PTSD
We combine behavioral, computational, and neuroimaging tools to better understand the principles underlying the perception and encoding of multi-sensory, real-life experiences into #memory.
Time has come to share some exciting news! I’m starting a new position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Cognitive Sciences at Haifa University in Spring 2025!
