I’m a Master student at the Department of Cognitive and Brain Sciences and an experienced software engineer. In my own research, I intend to understand the connection between non-conscious prioritization speed and ADHD. In my former position as software engineer in the lab I developed an end to end program for generating RMS experiments faster and without code.

[...] Nadav Weisler Rina Schwartz Perceptual conscious experiences result from non-conscious processes that precede them. Previous work documented a new characteristic of the cognitive system: the speed with which visual meaningful stimuli are prioritized to consciousness over competing noise in visual masking paradigms. This Nonconscious Prioritization Speed (NPS) is ubiquitous across a wide variety of stimuli, and generalizes across visual masks, suppression tasks, and time, and cannot be explained by variation in general speed, perceptual decision thresholds, short-term visual memory, or three networks of attention (alerting, orienting and executive). Our current work explores how NPS may contribute to the research of clinical disorders, as well as components of perception and phenomenological experience. [...]
