מחקר

Research in Lavidor laboratory focuses on the neural basis of language and creativity and includes work on hemisphere-based language processes, gestures, and the involvement of executive functions in semantic processing. Lavidor and her team employ cognitive training and noninvasive brain stimulation protocols to enhance interhemispheric cooperation and ultimately improve cognitive functions involved in language and creativity.
