I’m interested in understanding how brain assigns outcomes to the potential sources in a dynamic environment, and how this information contributes to behavior flexibility.
I am using functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) and computational modelling to study how humans estimate whether or not their actions have a reliable impact in a given environment, how this estimation influences their attribution of different outcomes, and the brain activity underlying this process.
