Isaac (Itzik) Fradkin

Principal Investigator

I am an assistant professor in the Psychology Department at the Hebrew University. I study how people think and how they communicate their thoughts, with a particular focus on abnormal thought processes in psychopathology. More broadly, I am interested in mathematical modeling in psychology, psychopathology and psychiatry

Tanya Philippova, PhD.

Research Associate

Firmly believing in multi-disciplinary research, I am currently finishing a Master's degree in experimental cognitive psychology to complement my prior graduate and postdoctoral training in theoretical linguistics. Broadly speaking, I am interested in how language-related behavior may inform our understanding of impairments underlying various psychopathological conditions.

Daniel Shenhar

Master's student

I am a master's student in cognitive and brain sciences department. I am a very sociable person and as such I am interested in what leads us to think and behave in certain ways in society.

Amit Avigdor

Master's student

I’m an M.A. student in cognitive and brain sciences. My interests lie in the psychological processes involved in language and cognition, with a particular focus on understanding individual differences in linguistic abilities.

Asaf Firer

Master's student

I am a master's student of Clinical Psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. My primary research interest lies in exploring the underlying processes of interpersonal communication, specifically how thoughts emerge, are conveyed, and ultimately received within the context of human interaction.

Jonathan Gan-mor

Master's student

I am a master’s student in clinical psychology with a strong interest in all social sciences including: sociology, anthropology, and economy of abundance. In the field of psychology, I am particularly fascinated by behavioral addictions and the thought processes of addicts. I believe that language and words are among the most powerful influences on human psychology and sociology.

Doron Berger

Master's student

I am a Master's student in Child and Clinical Psychology. I hold a B.A in psychology and linguistics. As a person who appreciates the versatility of how people convey their intentions, I'm interested in the cognitive correlates of behaviors and semantics.

Ziv Arad

Master's student

I am an M.A. student in Clinical Psychology with a background in statistics and data science. I am interested in how thought processes and dimensions of psychopathology shape human interactions, and in applying data-driven approaches to study these dynamics.

Dan Abergel

Developer, Research assistant

I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science and worked for three years as a software engineer at Mobileye. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science at the Hebrew University and serve as a developer and research assistant in Dr. Fradkin’s lab. My work focuses on building software tools and fine-tuning large language models for analyzing linguistic behavior in experimental settings

Anna Gorbunov

Undergraduate Student

I'm a third year BA student, majoring in Psychology and Linguistics. I'm interested in how language can be used in understanding psychological processes. I also want to learn more about the use of AI-based research methods to later implement it in my study of Maladaptive Daydreaming.

Sara Dauksz

Undergraduate Student

I’m a BSc student majoring in Computer Science and Psychology, interested in how AI and computational models can help us understand human behavior and mental processes. I’m particularly interested in behavioral addictions and decision-making in maladaptive behaviors, with a broader goal of using algorithms to model cognition and psychopathology.

Assaf Tsysar

Undergraduate Student

I’m a BSc student majoring in Philosophy and Cognitive Science, with a background in data engineering. My interests lie in the connection between our epistemological experience and the way we think about it, while using computational tools to study these connections
