JULY 15, 2012 14:10

Hebrew University psychology Prof. Shlomo Bentin, who received an Israel Prize in Psychology for his work this past Independence Day, was killed over the weekend in downtown Berkeley, California when his bicycle was hit by a dump truck. He was in the US to conduct research funded by the US National Institutes of Health.

Bentin, who was born in Romania in 1946, left a wife, three grown children and seven grandchildren.

According to witness reports, the driver kept going because he was not aware that he had hit him. Bentin was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and was rushed to a hospital, but died there.

Colleagues at HU’s Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation, which he helped found, were in shock at the tragic news.
