Ronen Hershman

Ronen Hershman is a Research Fellow at the Department of Clinical Psychology I, University of Innsbruck. He specializes in cognitive psychology research with a focus on pupillometry, eye movements, and cognitive control mechanisms. His work primarily investigates numerical processing and conflict resolution using Stroop task paradigms.

His research interests center on:

• Cognitive control mechanisms in conflict tasks
• Pupillometry as an indicator of cognitive effort
• Numerical cognition and processing
• Eye movement patterns in cognitive tasks
• Development of methodological tools for pupillometry analysis

Hershman's publications demonstrate a consistent focus on cognitive conflict paradigms, particularly Stroop task variations, with an emphasis on temporal analysis of pupillary responses. His methodological work includes developing CHAP, an open-source pupillometry analysis software that has become a significant contribution to the field.

He has taught courses including Research Seminar, Specific Clinical Research Methods, and specialized seminars on pupillometry and eye movement methodologies. His teaching portfolio includes both graduate and undergraduate level instruction in statistics and research methods.
