Liad Mudrik
Project Co-Lead
Tel Aviv University
Liad Mudrik’s research focuses on conscious experience – asking first if it plays a functional role in thinking and behavior, second – how it is affected by our semantic knowledge and expectations, and third – how it comes about, or what are the neural mechanisms underlying it. Her lab at TAU pursues these questions using mostly EEG and psychophysics, with a very strong emphasis on finding new ways to scientifically study consciousness in a more ecological manner (using both virtual and augmented reality). The lab strongly emphasized open science practices, both with respect to preregistrations and to data and material sharing.
