Neural mechanisms of decision making
I am a DPhil candidate in experimental psychology, supervised by Prof. Matthew Rushworth. I am interested in understanding how the brain makes decisions. My research aims to gain insights into the computational and neurobiological processes that guide people's choices. I am particularly intrigued by how visual attention, working memory, and social information affect decision-making. My research uses eye-tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and computational modelling.
