Prof. Liad Mudrik started her academic career as a student of the interdisciplinary program for outstanding students. She completed two Ph.D. dissertations at Tel Aviv University: her Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience (psychology department) focused on the role of consciousness and attention in processing contextual violations. Her Ph.D. in philosophy was a descriptive-deconstructive analysis of the mind-body problem in neuroscience. She then continued to a postdoctoral fellowship at the California Institute of Technology, in Christof Koch's lab. In 2015, she began her appointment as a faculty member in Tel Aviv University’s school of psychological science and the Sagol school of neuroscience. Her lab studies the neural bases of high-level cognition, focusing on conscious experience and cognitive effects on perception. She is also a member of the Young Israeli Academy of sciences.
