Rotem Botvinik-Nezer joined the CANlab at Dartmouth in the fall of 2019. She completed her undergraduate and graduate training in Neuroscience at Tel Aviv University, where she studied the neural basis of preference modifications, using neuroimaging (mainly fMRI and diffusion MRI) and behavioral tools. She has been promoting topics related to open science, through research and teaching, and co-led the Neuroimaging Analysis Replication and Prediction Study (NARPS; Article). At the CANlab, she is studying the behavioral and neural mechanisms in which our beliefs and expectations are shaped and in turn influence behavior and physiology.
