Research groups:
Decision Neuroscience Research Group (DRCMR and Copenhagen Business School)
Center for Integrated Molecular Brain Imaging CIMBI, project 4

Main interests:
My main interests concern questions of cognitive flexibility and the interaction of brain systems contributing to it. More specifically, I investigate probabilistic reversal learning with functional MRI. Furthermore, I examine the effects of serotonergic challenge on performance and brain activity. Learning is assumed to be based on the mechanisms underlying Bayesian learner models and the data will be analyzed accordingly.
With regard to cognitive flexibility, I am especially interested in the so-called "executive" functions mediated by the prefrontal cortex and how it integrates information from all other parts of the brain in order to produce coherent, but flexible behavior.
