Talia is a senior postdoctoral fellow at the Weizmann Institute of Science, hosted by Prof. Rafi Malach and Dr. Erez Simony, and awarded by the Clore foundation. She completed her PhD at Tel Aviv University, mentored by Prof. Galit Yovel. This was followed by a 4-year postdoctoral position at the University of Trento, hosted by Prof. Marius Peelen, supported by a Marie Curie Individual Fellowship. Talia's work uses cutting-edge computational approaches combining neuroimaging, electrophysiology, behavior and naturalistic stimulation, to investigate the dynamics of natural perception and cognition in the human brain. Her published findings reveal integrative mechanisms by which the brain combines information from multiple sources, in order to form coherent perception and neural representations of natural complex stimuli. Ongoing projects examine the large-scale neural connectivity patterns explaining fluctuations in cognitive states during continuous naturalistic processing.
