EITAN HEMED (PhD)

I am currently a postdoctoral fellow with Marcel Brass, at the Social Intelligence lab at Humboldt University of Berlin; I am also a postdoctoral fellow of the Science of Intelligence cluster. In my current position I am working on observational reinforcement learning - how we learn from others to select favorable choices.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow of the Data Science Research Center, under the mentoring of Prof. Baruch Eitam. The project I led is still ongoing in the Eitam lab; in it I analyze the development of direct reaching in infants, as recorded in videos of unstructured free-play.

Prior to that I was a PhD candidate with Prof. Baruch Eitam (and the lab manager of Eitam lab). In my dissertation I explored how statistical properties of feedback reinforce various levels of action-selection and action-execution.
