Her group studies plasticity of body representation in healthy populations and in individuals with a hand-loss. Her main interest is in understanding how habitual behaviour, such as prosthetic limb usage, drives brain reorganisation. For this purpose, she integrates methods from the fields of neuroscience, experimental psychology and rehabilitation. Tamar graduated from the Brain and Behavioural Sciences programme at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2009. She then joined the University of Oxford, first as a Newton International Royal Society Fellow and subsequently as a Marie Curie Intra-European Early Career Development Fellow to establish her research program on brain plasticity in amputees. She is currently holding a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship.
