Dr Yaara Erez University positionRoyal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellow Dr Yaara Erez is pleased to consider applications from prospective PhD students. DepartmentsCognition and Brain Sciences Unit, MRC InstitutesMRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit Home pagehttps://yaaraerez.org/ (personal home page) Research ThemesInterestsMy work combines a variety of techniques from cognitive and system neuroscience to study the neural mechanisms of information processing and cognitive control. I am interested in multiple aspects that modulate the way we process information such as contextual effects, current goals and attention. With background in computer science and psychology, I am using advanced analysis methods for a diverse range of neural signals to investigate how we process information successfully and what happens when the system fails.
