Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I am excited to share our new response letter, just published in Neuropsychopharmacology. We wrote this piece to engage with a recent, highly sophisticated paper by Cisler et al., adding another vital piece to the puzzle of how the hippocampus encodes autobiographical trauma memories in PTSD. 132
Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 15/04/2026We are recruiting! My lab at the University of Haifa is looking for new team members to join our research on the links between sensory perception (focus on #smell and human #olfaction) and human memory. Please help me spread the word #newPI #academia #neurostuff 0169
Reposted by Ofer PerlDima Rinberg @dimarinberg.bsky.social · 15/04/2026When it comes to sensory processing, cortex should not get all the credit... In olfaction, a key challenge is identifying odors regardless of concentration. Our new paper in @natneuro.nature.com shows how the olfactory bulb performs this crucial computation before signals even reach the cortex. 1258

Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Incredible work by a super talented team! Was lucky to witness it from conceptualization to reality (even when pieces didn't always fall into place, that's real science FYI). Congratulations and kudos @baror-shira.bsky.social , @ayab.bsky.social and team! 060
Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 02/01/2026#Throwback! Two years later, this finding still blows my mind. 🤯 We demonstrated that beliefs about nicotine strength drive dose-dependent signals in the brain, physiologically mimicking the drug itself, even when the actual dose is constant. Beliefs change biology 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s44...nature.comNicotine-related beliefs induce dose-dependent responses in the human brain - Nature Mental HealthInstructions about nicotine strength influence smokers’ perception of the nicotine content in electronic cigarettes and are associated with neural responses in the thalamocortical system. 010
Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 08/08/2025Let’s talk about Sniff Logic (disclaimer: I work here) – We build tools for measuring oral & nasal airflow with research-grade accuracy What makes us different? • Research-grade precision, anywhere • Sync with EEG, fMRI, etc. • A fraction of the price of most systems 📢 #Respiration #Neuroscience 140
Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 19/03/2025The craziest/loveliest part of departing from @ayab.bsky.social 's lab was this jaw dropping clip they made with KlingAI and a *single* photo of me. I guess this is what you get when you mess with masters of naturalistic stimuli 😱 Such a great gift and now the rest of the world can easily extort me 091
Ofer Perl @oferperl.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Yesterday was my last day with the @ayab.bsky.social memory lab at ELSC, @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social. After two and a half wonderful years, going away is bittersweet. I now look forward to starting a new path as a PI @ Haifa University and to forming new hippocampal-mediated memories. Thank you💛 190
