Research Interests
My research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms responsible for forming decisions about sensory stimuli. We use psychophysics, computational modeling, and electrophysiology in awake, behaving monkeys to address several questions about these decisions: What are the underlying neural computations? Where are the circuits that perform these computations. How are these circuits shaped by experience?
