Meet The Team

Omer is interested in the underlying mechanisms of psychopathologies and in improving mental health care based on our understanding of these mechanisms.

Aharon is interested in the intersection between control mechanisms and its role in different psychopathologies.

Tal interested in rumination in OCD, its characteristics, and underlying mechanisms, as well as specific interventions aimed at addressing this process.

Hodaya interested in the diffent way to deal with uncertainty in OCD and Derpression and experiences of internal and external uncertainty.

Shaked study the intersection of Large Language Models (LLMs) and psychopathology, specifically regarding obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

My research focuses on the cognitive and behavioral mechanisms of intolerance of uncertainty from a transdiagnostic perspective.

Tamar interested in real time technological interventions in the world of uncertainty intolerance and compulsive behaviors. 

Ofri focuses on examining cognitive and attentional processes under uncertainty, with a focus on food-related cues and time-of-day effects. Ofri work integrates experimental tasks and behavioral measures to study how uncertainty shapes perception and decision making regarding food.

Yiftach research focuses on the link between Intolerance of Uncertainty and the dual pathways of post-trauma: distress and growth. Yiftach investigating how the inability to tolerate the unknown correlates with PTSD severity versus the capacity for positive psychological change

Noa investigates the interaction between chronotype and time of day on OCD symptom assessment. Specifically, Noa examine how these factors differentially influence symptom evaluation across a self-report measure and a clinician-administered interview, aiming to tailor the timing and method of assessment to specific clinical needs.

Yuval focuses on processes of certainty and uncertainty, with a particular emphasis on checking behaviors and the cognitive mechanisms that underlie them. Specifically, Yuval investigate how cognitive processes such as flexibility and the processing of internal signals contribute to persistent checking behavior, even under conditions of objective certainty.

Noa study how the time between trials  shapes learning and decision-making in a bandit task, with a focus on how anxiety biases learning from losses versus gains.​
