Research Interests
I am interested in different aspects of decision-making – I have investigated context effects on prediction error coding and inhibitory network dynamics in sequential gambling. My current interest focuses on the idea that latent decision variables (for example outcome probability estimations or subjective evidence for a choice) are represented topographically in the brain. This entails the idea that the same decision variable (e.g. probability estimate) is computed with a spectrum of parameterizations (e.g. different learning rates) simultaneously in order to allow for behavior that is adaptive to changes in the environment.
