Tali is a PhD Student at the Psychology Department of the Hebrew University. My research, under the supervision of Prof. Leon Deouell, focuses on crossmodal interactions in space representation and attention. I am interested in the integration of unimodal spatial maps to create a unified representation of space, in the coordinates by which space is represented in separate sensory modalities and across modalities, and in the space representation/s underlying spatial attention to one or more modalities. I study this using mainly EEG, behavioral measures and eye tracking. Other research interests of mine include multisensory processing, statistical learning, and the study of consciousness.

I received my B.Sc. in Psychobiology from the Hebrew University and then continued directly to a PhD in the Neuropsychology research track. In addition to my research I also serve as lab manager of the Human Cognitive Neursoscience Lab. Other than that I am interested in statistics and methodology and I have worked as  a teaching assistant in several methodological courses at the Psychology department, including Advanced Research Methods (MA course).
