Tal is a postdoctoral fellow in the Affective Brain Lab, located in the Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research and the Experimental psychology department at University College London.
I spent three fascinating years at the Labconscious, exploring non-conscious goal pursuit, i.e. implicit processes which help us achieve our goals without attention or awareness.
My research aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms which are involved in the integration of composite visual information, and assess whether it could be done without awareness.
I spent 2 great years at the lab as a cognitive science student, and my research dealt with the differences in the ways the conscious and the unconscious processes the same information; I believe that analyzing these differences will shed some light on the nature of the conscious and unconscious and
I am interested in many things, and as so my academic career began with the question of where to start. Drawn to the fields of history, computers and psychology, I found myself with a double B.Sc. in computer science and Middle Eastern history, followed by an M.A.
My research work examines the effect of non-conscious goal pursuit on emotions. In different studies we have shown that non-conscious goal pursuit directs people’s emotion in goal-compatible ways.
In the latest research that I have conducted and reviewed in my MA thesis, I combined two of my major interests: cinematography and perception. I am the first student in a program which combines cognitive studies in HUJI with arts studies in Bezalel Academy.
My main interest is neuropsychological mechanisms of emotion, and specifically of empathy. My work focuses on the impact of contextual visual factors, such as body posture and environment, on our empathic emotional reactions to others facial expressions.
My main interests are implicit motivational processes and executive functions. In my research I investigate how non-conscious processes change as we age, and how might those changes effect executive functioning among older adults.
