Research
Metacognition
I am working on a project investigating how hierarchical decision processes are formulated using a perceptual decision task and EEG. With this project I hope to extend previous findings on evidence accumulation underlying hierarchical decision processes and selection of attention versus action.
Foraging
I used a novel foraging task to address how ecological and continuous reward environments are constructed, monitored and updated. I am currently analyzing EEG data that hopefully will reveal neural correlates of learning and decision processes.
