Welocome to Yoni Pertzov's Visual Cognition Lab

 

• The questions that motivate our research all revolve around visual cognition and mostly around eye movements and visual memory. Specifically, we are interested in​

  • What leads different individuals and clinical populations scan the same scenes differently

  • How individuals' specific scanning characteristics influence their opinion, attitudes and decision

  • How eye movements relates to individuals' specific memories

  • How memory related scanning patterns can be used for revealing concealed information

  • How do we maintain visual information that is no longer present?

  • What are the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying forgetting in healthy people and patients with brain disorders?

 

• We are engaged in investigating these topics using various research methods including neuroimaging and behavioral experiments, in healthy individuals and patients with neurological disorders.
