Shlomo Bentin died in a traffic accident on July 13th 2012. Shlomo was an amazing man and had a great impact not only on psychological and brain science but also directly on the lives of so many people. He had a unique passion for life and for scientific discovery. He was a strong man with a soft heart and his exuberant presence was always felt and admired.

From Thomas Van Vleet

I had the pleasure of getting to know Shlomo while working as a post-doc in Lynn Robertson's lab at Berkeley. I came to know Shlomo as an uncompromising scientist that exuded a genuine passion for his work.  He was truly a 'force of nature', as evidenced not only in the lab, but also on the ski hills of Lake Tahoe (smile). Together, we shared a fascination for hemispatial neglect and I was honored when he asked me to review a related paper. Although my time with Shlomo was limited, I will always remember his caring smile and genuine presence. My deepest condolences to Miri and family.
