Research Interests
My main research focus is on the computational neuroscience of learning and decision-making. To help bridge the gap between physiology and behavior, I use computational modeling at multiple levels, including neural network models of learning and decision-making as well as multivariate methods for analysing fMRI data. As a long-term goal, I seek to advance computational models of neural-level mechanisms supporting cognitive functions, constrained by data at the participant level. A special focus is on clinical populations as well as normal aging.
