I am currently on the Israeli Job Market. I am interested in positions in Psychology, Cognition, Brain Sciences and Business Schools.
Research Interests My research lies at the intersection between decision-making, behavioral economics and cognitive and affective neuroscience, a combination best described as “Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience of Decision-Making”. I study how we assign subjective values to reward. What are the cognitive, affective and neural processes that underlie the subjective experience of rewards? How do these processes vary across contexts and individuals? Understanding how we evaluate outcomes holds broad implications: it can contribute to improving well-being and decision-making in healthy individuals, while also offering insights into clinical populations where these processes are disrupted, such as depression, addiction, or among older adults. To investigate these questions, I employ a multidisciplinary approach. I combine paradigms from behavioral economics with electrophysiological (scalp and intracranial EEG) and computational tools in healthy and clinical populations.
