About Me

I am a PhD candidate in Data Science at the Technion, working under the supervision of Yevgeni Berzak at the Language, Computation and Cognition (LaCC) Lab. My research aims to decode our cognitive state in language processing, with a focus on utilizing eye movements in reading and neural activity while listening.
