Yoed Kenett

Prof. Yoed Kenett is an Assistant Professor at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management), where he heads the Cognitive Complexity Lab. He received his PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from Bar-Ilan University and held Post-Docs positions at Brown University (2015-2016) and the University of Pennsylvania (2016-2020).

His research interests lie in studying the complexity of higher-level cognition in typical and clinical populations, focusing on creativity, associative thought, knowledge, and memory search. To investigate these issues, he applies computational network science methods in conjunction with empirical behavioral and neural research

Prof. Kenett is a COLIBRI visiting fellow at the Institute of Psychology working with Prof. Mathias Benedek (Creative Cognition Lab).

Planned events during his stay at the University of Graz:

• Presentation at the COLIBRI Day: 30.9.2021 (Topic TBA)
• Presentation at the Department of Psychology on 4.10.2021, 5 pm (Topic TBA)
• Seminar on “Cognitive network analysis” (602.100) - Open to PhD students of all faculties. Topics include tools and methods for network analysis, analysis of network robustness (e.g. percolation analysis), application in higher level cognition (memory, creativity, language). R skills helpful but not required.
