  • Utrecht University — Bachelor of Science (BSc), Psychology (Sep 2002 - Jul 2005)

    I researched Motion-Induced Blindness (MIB), a phenomenon of visual disappearance or perceptual illusions in which salient visual stimuli disappear as if erased in front of the observers eyes (for more information, see http://www.weizmann.ac.il/home/masagi/MIB/mib.html). Our research found an effect for distance (increased distance -> increased MIB) and for direction (more MIB in the upper left visual field).
