Research Interest
The main interest of the lab is studying the neural basis of value-based decision making in humnas. We focus on the structural and functional plasticity underlying behavior change. We functional MRI, eye tracking and computational learning models to better understand human mental function and its underlying neural substrates. We are interested in the process of value construction, how values can be perturbed and changed and how these processes are manifested in the human brain. We study the multiple components of this process by designing novel behavioral paradigms and using converging research tools to analyze them.
