Tomer's Ph.D page

I am currently working on my Ph.D at prof. Dov Sagi's visual psychophysics lab,
at the department of Neurobiology, at the Weizmann Institute of Science

Education history:

B.A.	Philosophy & Psychology	Haifa university	2004
M.A.	Cognitive Sciences	The Hebrew university in Jerusalem	2006

Research interests:
My main research interests are the online creation and representation of simple visual objects.
I'm studying the processes of grouping by which the visual system constructs its initial representation of the visual scene.
I do this using human psychophysics experiments (usually studying the visual crowding phenomenon) and computer modeling.
