Congratulations to Ido Tavor on promotion to Associate Professor!

Prof. Ido Tavor started his academic career in Tel Aviv University’s undergraduate program in Biology and Psychology with emphasis on Neuroscience. He completed his Ph.D. in Neurobiology under the guidance of Prof. Yaniv Assaf studying rapid learning-related structural plasticity in the living human brain. He then proceeded to a postdoctoral fellowship at the Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain (FMRIB) at the University of Oxford. There working with Prof. Saad Jbabdi he studied individual variability in brain function and connectivity. In 2017 Ido joined Tel Aviv University as a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences and the Sagol School of Neuroscience.

Tavor’s lab studies the dynamic relationship between brain activity, connectivity and human behavior using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). By combining advanced neuroimaging techniques and machine learning algorithms, his team examines how individual differences in the brain shape learning, memory, cognitive abilities, psychological traits and clinical conditions.
