Overview

Nilli Lavie is affiliated with University College London in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on the field of neuroscience, with an emphasis on cognitive neuroscience. The work also intersects with computer vision and pattern recognition, social psychology, psychiatry, and cardiovascular medicine.

The main topics of their research include neural and behavioral psychology studies, visual perception and processing mechanisms, functional brain connectivity studies, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, neural dynamics and brain function, mind wandering and attention, and visual attention and saliency detection.

They have contributed to numerous publications, with frequent appearance in the following venues: bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Progress in Neurobiology, Journal of Neuroscience, Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, and Royal Society Open Science.

Recent papers authored include:

  • Alpha oscillations reflect suppression of distractors with increased perceptual load, 2022, Progress in Neurobiology
  • Attention and Capacity Limits in Perception: A Cellular Metabolism Account, 2020, Journal of Neuroscience
  • Predicting human complexity perception of real-world scenes, 2020, Royal Society Open Science
  • Sustained selective attention in adolescence: Cognitive development and predictors of distractibility at school, 2023, Journal of Experimental Child Psychology
  • Diminished distractor filtering with increased perceptual load and sustained effort explains attention deficit in post-stroke fatigue, 2022, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)

Frequent co-authors in their research include Anthony M. Harris, Tjerk P. Gutteling, Lonieke Sillekens, Ole Jensen, and Merit Bruckmaier.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a career in psychology opens a range of opportunities, both in mental health and related fields. One of the most popular and impactful routes is becoming a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). The path to licensure differs by state, making it important to understand local requirements before you begin.

If you are interested in practicing in the Midwest, review the Omaha mft certification requirements to learn about the necessary education and supervised experience. For those considering a career in Florida, details on the Orlando mft certification requirements outline the state’s specific standards.

If Philadelphia is your goal, our resource on how to become an mft in Philadelphia covers licensing, required coursework, and internships. For those heading to Arizona, check how to become an mft in Phoenix for local regulations.

Earning an online degree in psychology can offer the flexibility to meet these diverse requirements while preparing you for a variety of rewarding career paths.
