Eitan Hemed is an experimental psychologist, interested primarily in how humans learn, select and execute bodily movements. At SCIoI, Eitan studies how we learn by observing the actions and outcomes of others surrounding them, and the impact of development on this capability (Project 59).

Previously, as a postdoctoral fellow of the Data Science Research Center at the University of Haifa he studied the emergence of goal-directed reaching in infants. Eitan completed his PhD in Psychology at the University of Haifa, where he used behavioral experiments to test how various statistical properties of feedback reinforce independent levels of action-selection.
