The Dynamics of Visual Attention
The Dynamics of Visual Attention
A primary interest of our lab is understanding how people at different stages of life control attention in rapidly changing environments. We develop new methods to evaluate and measure cognitive control in complex scenes, asking How do we determine where and when to allocate our resources? What are the unique challanges of performing cognitive tasks over time? How does ageing and cognitive development affect our abilities?
Translational Research
Translational Research
Alongside lab-based experimentation, we conduct translational research in collaboration with local clinical facilities and community centres, focusing on cognitive ageing. This line of research includes developing new tools for assessing and intervening in cognitive decline; identifying factors that support cognitive reserve and resilience; and translating and adapting assessment batteries into Hebrew and Arabic.
Cognition in Real Life
Cognition in Real Life
We study higher-order cognitive functions such as memory and attention within immersive virtual-reality environments. By testing individuals spanning younger to older adulthood, we examine how cognition operates in real-life settings and how it differs from traditional cognitive assessments.
Diverse Research Methods
Diverse Research Methods
Our experimental research lab is based at the Institute of Information Processing and Decision Making (IIPDM), University of Haifa. We employ diverse research methods, including computerised cognitive tasks, virtual reality, neuropsychological assessment, neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and computational modelling. We work with individuals across all stages of development, with a particular focus on the adult lifespan and ageing.
