Rotem Botvinik-Nezer will open her lab at the Psychology Department, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in the summer of 2024. The lab will study how beliefs and expectations are formed and updated given new information, and how they affect mental, social, and physiological processes, in placebo effects and beyond. The lab will use diverse tools, including behavioral experimental manipulations, computational modeling, and neuroimaging. The lab will also continue to proactively conduct and promote open and reproducible scientific research, with a particular emphasis on reproducibility, transparency, and robustness to analytical decisions. If you are interested in joining the lab or forming collaborations, please reach out!
