Studies continuous interactive choices and curiosity-driven choices in naturalistic contexts; examines how the brain represents word meanings and combines them to convey shades of meaning; develops and improves treatments for psychiatric and neurological diseases using behavioral and electrophysiological methods.
Background
Research interests include how the brain represents value, implements choice, and regulates choices using executive control and self-control; language neuroscience, particularly in naturalistic contexts such as conversations and relating language use to depression and autism; neuromodulation and mental illness, especially developing and improving treatments for psychiatric and neurological diseases using behavioral and electrophysiological methods.
Miscellany
