Many protestors hold up pictures of Palestinian children killed in Gaza as well as those of kidnapped Israeli hostages. If we have no empathy for the suffering of others, what is left of our humanity?

The situation in Israel is not good. A crazy government extending a terrible war to retain power while reducing freedoms. Despite the violence against protestors we will continue to stop the war, return the hostages and seek peace.

This week I came for my last day at the university before setting off for a 1 year sabbatical at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The amazing students in my lab surprised me with a goodbye party. So lucky to be working with such talented and kind people! Thanks salomonlab.org

No matter how bad things seem, we all have an opportunity and obligation to make them better. After the crazy war with Iran we are back on the street protesting for peace and the return of the hostages. #NeverGiveUP

Most of the day I'm ok. I function well under stress, taking my kids to the bomb shelter while still responding to emails , writing papers and cooking. But every day there is a moment where the reality breaks though and I cry for all the people, on all sides, suffering in this tragedy. Peace.

Saturday evenings are dedicated to demonstrations (just the last 2.5 years or so). Despite police actions against this, people are bravely holding up pictures of innocent Palestinian children killed in Gaza. We must remember that most people on both sides just want to live in peace!

Every year we light candles to remember my mother's 7 aunts and uncles and grandparents murdered by Nazi's in Auschwitz. For me the tragedy of the holocaust is a reminder to always fight for life and humanity and against hatred and racism. This is salvation.

We found that Sense of Reality judgments varied across hallucination domains and intensities—suggesting SoR relies on perceptual inference processes. 6/9

Using psychophysics, physiological recordings & computational modeling, we tested responses to Virtual Hallucinations across two studies (exploratory n=31, preregistered n=32), manipulating hallucination intensity and domain. 5/9

Was amazing to present at the UN. This is how I started: "I first wish to express my profound hope, especially in these dark times, that ALL the people in the Middle East will be able to live in peace, safety and prosperity." This is our dream and goal, see how you can help.

In the pouring rain thousands of determined Israelis are here to seek peace and protect democracy. We will never give up! We will never forget our brothers in captivity.

Was great to be at beautiful Acco for #ISCOP. Great talks from @reinavandergoot.bsky.social Ophir Netzer , Yoni Stern and a poster by Abraham Shmueli and Mary Grankin. Most amazing part was the camaraderie and support shown by Israeli academia in these tough times. Truly heartwarming. Be nice!

I am so happy to be visiting Switzerland again. Meeting with friends and colleagues and hearing about their work can be massively invigorating to your own work. Otherwise try TMS ;)
