  • An asynchronous, hands-off workflow for looking time experiments with infants

    Open AccessGal Raz, Sabrina Piccolo et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    The study of infant gaze has long been a key tool for understanding the developing mind. However, labor-intensive data collection and processing limit the speed at which this understanding can be advanced. Here, we demonstrate an asynchronous workflow for conducting violation-of-expectation (VoE) experiments, which is fully "hands-off" for the experimenter. We first replicate four classic VoE experiments in a synchronous online setting, and show …

  • Rage against the empathy machine revisited

    Open AccessGal RazARTICLEConvergence The International…2022

    Virtual reality (VR) has been designated as the ‘ultimate empathy machine’ due to its alleged ability to powerfully immerse users in another’s perspective. As VR has attracted growing attention, criticism of its alleged ‘empathic superpowers' has also gained strength. Critics have recently argued that the empathic VR vision is ethically flawed since it is misleading and denies non-communicable aspects of the Other. Moreover, several scholars argu…

  • When randomisation is not good enough

    Open AccessFrancesco Sella, Gal Raz et al.ARTICLEPsychonomic Bulletin & Review2021

    Randomised assignment of individuals to treatment and controls groups is often considered the gold standard to draw valid conclusions about the efficacy of an intervention. In practice, randomisation can lead to accidental differences due to chance. Researchers have offered alternatives to reduce such differences, but these methods are not used frequently due to the requirement of advanced statistical methods. Here, we recommend a simple assignme…

  • The moving learner

    Open AccessOrly Fuhrman, Anabel Eckerling et al.ARTICLEJournal of Computer Assisted…2021

    A challenging aspect of foreign language acquisition is learning new vocabulary. Research has demonstrated the benefits of motor action to vocabulary learning, though these findings are rarely translated into teaching and learning practices. In this work, we present a novel paradigm for vocabulary learning in a virtual reality environment, capitalizing on the prominent advantages of this technology as an ‘embodied learning’ tool. Hebrew‐speaking …

  • Electrical fingerprint of the amygdala guides neurofeedback training for stress resilience

    Open AccessMaree Roche, Jackob N Keynan et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2018Cited by: 2References: 51

    Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rt-fMRI) has revived the translational perspective of neurofeedback (NF) 1 . Particularly for stress management, targeting deeply located limbic areas involved in stress processing 2 has paved new paths for brain-guided interventions. However, the high cost and immobility of fMRI constitute a challenging drawback for the scalability (accessibility and cost-effectiveness) of the approach, particular…

  • Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance

    Eva Jablonka, Gal RazARTICLEThe Quarterly Review of Biology2009

    This review describes new developments in the study of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance, a component of epigenetics. We start by examining the basic concepts of the field and the mechanisms that underlie epigenetic inheritance. We present a comprehensive review of transgenerational cellular epigenetic inheritance among different taxa in the form of a table, and discuss the data contained therein. The analysis of these data shows that epig…
