Exciting news! 🎉 This summer I'm joining @HebrewU Econ Department and the PPE program as a Senior Lecturer (Asst. Prof.). My lab will focus on neural mechanisms of individual and strategic choices. 1/3
New paper out! 🧠📄 Thrilled to share my first first-author paper, exploring how distinct neural representations underlie the processing of different #signlanguage components in novice signers, in 100+ participants! 🧵 (1/7) nature.com/articles/s4200…
המוח שלנו מראה שאנחנו לא רציונליים? 🤔 🎬🍿אחרי טקס האוסקר, כשאנחנו עדיין מתלבטים איזה סרט לראות ואיזה גודל פופקורן לקנות, עולה שאלה: האם הבחירות שלנו באמת שלנו? @asaf_mdr
I had a great time presenting at #ISCOP 2025! 🎉 I talked about latent dimensions in neural representations, and how we can use them to predict choices better. Stay tuned for the preprint, it's coming soon! 📝🤓

Great poster session at #ISFN2025. Great job @asaf_mdr and @FriedmanNaama!

Had an amazing time presenting my work at the SNE 2024, showing how the decoy effect is predicted by high-dimensional neural representations. A great conference, once again!

Honored to have won the SNE Travel Award! Thanks for a great conference! #SNE2024
Congratulations to all of our Travel Award Winners; we're so glad that you were able to join us in Cascais, Portugal for the 2024 Annual Meeting. #SNE2024Awards
I had a great time at the Blitz poster presentation at the Consumer Neuroscience Satellite Symposium. Next stop: my talk on Sunday at the SNE 2024! Thank you to everyone who came to the poster for your great comments and inspiring suggestions!
