The Yashar Lab investigates visual perception and cognition, particularly, the processes which determine how people detect and identify visual features and objects. Our goal is to understand how cognitive and brain capacities such as plasticity, attention and memory can enhance visual perception in both typical and atypical  populations—e.g. people with autism, visual impairments and learning disabilities. We use various research methods, including psychophysics, eye tracking and computational modeling.

Our lab is affiliated with The Department of Special Education in the Faculty of Education and with The Edmond J. Safra Brain Research Center for the Study of Learning Disabilities at the University of Haifa, and part of the The Brain and Behavior Hub at the University of Haifa.
