My first paper is now available online☺️| The role of conscious perception in semantic processing: Testing the action trigger hypothesis authors.elsevier.com/a/1g9e~3lcz41Q…

Thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster at @ASSC2025 It was great chatting with you. Always happy to talk more about unconscious processing and all things awareness, and beyond. Feel free to reach out😄 #assc2025 #assc28

Check out our paper ⬇️⬇️⬇️

🤯 I just fed my recent paper to #NotebookLM and it auto-generated a 7-minute podcast about it! It's sometimes inaccurate, misses key points, and can get over-dramatic🤣 Still very impressive! Check out 2 minutes of the output:

#ISCOP is always fun. Thanks to everyone who dropped by!

Our UnconTrust database for studies of unconscious processing is now officially launched in an interactive website here: uncontrustdb.tau.ac.il And a paper describing the process and the validation is now published in “Scientific Data”: doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

Still studying the role of conscious perception in semantic processing. I presented today at #IVSS how unconscious semantic processing might be more extended than previously thought.

New EEG Inattentional Blindness (IB) paper with Michael Pitts, Enriqueta Canseco Gonzalez, @BradleyNJack, & @PammerProf. We find no evidence of an N400 to, nor above chance decoding of, related/unrelated word pairs when subjects are inattentionally blind to the word pairs. /1

Too many theories! If you are looking to learn more about the science of consciousness, I suggest starting reading about those that are based on empirical evidence. nature.com/articles/s4158…

If they hadn't given me constructive feedback, you would have seen amazing AI-generated images throughout the presentation 😅

The #ASSC27 is finally over. Thank you to everyone who attended my talk and to my fellow lab members from Dominique's lab for their support @ToledanoDaniel7 @sasi_mor @AyaGolan1 @AniruddhaRamgir and Diana Mazenko.

It's such an honor to present my talk at this year's @ASSC27tokyo among so many other great talks. Please attend our concurrent session 😄

Giving a talk tomorrow at the @VSSMtg - drop by to find out if there is a way to overcome attentional biases to recently selected locations. Talk Room 2 at 12:00. See you! #vss2024

Visit me at the @VSSMtg morning poster session! I'll be presenting my latest study about the Priority Accumulation Framework (psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi…) Pavillion hall, poster 23.427 starting from 8:30 am - See you there! #VSS2024

@VictorLamme Indeed, talking AI is probably still brainless.

The idea that AI will take over the world because we now have some computers that are okay at babbling is exactly pinpointing at what is wrong with the world: the idea that talking is more important than actually doing, making things. And gets paid more. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_takeov…

@DavidsonOnline @MaayanKarlin העמדה שראייה עיוורת (blindsight) מהווה סוג של תפיסה לא מודעת היא שנויה במחלוקת psycnet.apa.org/record/2020-57…

אף שתורתו של פרויד על קיומם של זיכרונות לא-מודעים לא התבססה על ראיות מדעיות, ממצאים מחקר המוח מצביעים על תופעות שאפשר לפרש בצורה דומה >>> bit.ly/3usc45A מאת: רותם מיקה 📸נעשה ע"י @MaayanKarlin בעזרת מידג'רני

Science Twitter: the last 19 days were a living hell for our Israeli colleagues. Their loved ones have been brutally murdered in their homes, raped and kidnapped. They spend hours sheltering from bombings. They feel scared, angry, & isolated. This is the time to show our support.

@AlonZivony Thank you for putting into words how many of us feel. One problem is that ppl will agree with you in principle but continue saying offensive comments. You can see this among those who like and repost your comments, but also like and repost the same offensive things we call out.

For many, the response in academia is what you might call "casual antisemitism". We don't think you hate Jews, but we have a suspicion that you don't really care that much. Is that true? Probably not. But many of you did a really bad job of making us feel otherwise

I think that most people either don't know, don't care to know, or simply refuse to emphesize with what Israelis are feeling nowadys. Instead of asking us, ppl just assume that we fit their own left/right politics, so they respond as if we're all just weaponizing being offended

@AjAqrabawi @ItaiYanai This is not a respectful answer. Is this how you answer questions in conferences? Where did you see hate? Insulting me does nothing but paint you and people like you as bullies.

@NitzM98 @ItaiYanai Perhaps read the original tweet and try again to comprehend my point, I know it can be difficult to understand simple arguments when your mind is consumed with hate.

We were so close.. In these dark days it’s easy to forget just how close the Israelis and Palestinians came to peace. There was even the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. But then Hamas started blowing up buses & learned that terror does block peace. #HamasisISIS youtube.com/watch?v=jt3Ppq…

@AjAqrabawi @ItaiYanai A right wing extremist. Remind me of who assassinated Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt, because of his desire for peace after signing a peace treaty with Israel? What is your point?

@ItaiYanai Remind me who assassinated Yitzhak Rabin because his desire for peace? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yitzhak_R…

@Michael_Gilead How many people in the poll were between 18 and 34 years old? I think a quarter of Americans are in that age category, so if the total sample size was 1000, then 125 out of 250 young people answered that they can justify the Hamas attack

American colleagues, can someone explain this to me? half of the young people in the US (until age 34) think the slaughter of 1,200 civilians is justified? What is this intellectual and moral bankruptcy? what is responsible for this?
