Studying neuroscience at the Hebrew University.

My main interest is how the cognitive system combines prior knowledge about the world in the process of perception.

comment How does task difficulty schedule affect the rate and efficiency of perceptual learning?
Thanks for the detailed answer. BTW: Merav Ahissar is my PhD advisor :) ... What motivated this question was my feeling that some of these claims are based on 'experimenters experience' rather than on actual rigorous testing of the matter. I'll check out the other leads.

comment Cognitive explanation of why beta blockers are effective for anxiety
"What is the cognitive explanation of the reduction in symptoms?" or should that be "What is the cognitive explanation of the fact that a reduction in symptoms causes a reduction in anxiety?"

comment What are the “Must Know” papers of Cognitive Science?
@StevenJeuris - About scope, its intensionally wide. Inside my fields of expertise (Perception and perceptual learning) I believe I know the important works. I was wondering what other people think I ought to know about other sub-fields of cognitive science.

Not constructive? Seriously? The answer to this question alone could be worth its own site!

comment What are the effects of implanting electrodes into the brains of monkeys?
'exact same signal controls both arms' - What does that mean? The biological and the mech arm? and what do you mean by 'a separate patch of brain'? Separate from the part in M1 controlling the biological hand? Then the monkey will probably not be able to learn to use the BMI.
