Research Interests:

Broadly, my research concerns the mechanisms supporting decision-making, memory and learning with a focus on how flexible control mechanisms guide behaviour. I seek to identify these mechanisms using cleverly crafted experimental designs, computational modelling, pharmacological manipulations, neuroimaging, and advanced statistical analysis of empirical data. My vision is that a better understanding of these processes will allow us to develop interventions promoting their effective usage. 

Current interests include:

• Model Based and Model Free Reinforcement Learning
• Credit Assignment
• The Functions of Cognitive Maps
• Sequential Sampling Models of Evidence Accumulation
• Exploration-Exploitation Dilemma
• Learning from Misinformation
