Research Interests

 

In general, my research uses both behavioral and neuroscientific methods to explore the cognitive and neural processes that underlie human judgment and decision-making. Some specific interests include:

• Psychological and neural dynamics of social motivations

• Reward processes in decision-making

• Decision conflict, risk, and uncertainty
