Decision Neuroscience & Cognitive Engineering Lab

Decision Neuroscience | Social interaction |
Computational Psychiatry

Research in our lab focuses on the neural and psychological foundations of valuation and decision-making. To date, our research has examined social and economic decision behaviors in two streams of inquiry: (i) neural basis of value-based and social decision-making, and (ii) abnormalities of decision-making in psychopathology. Our work takes a multidisciplinary approach that integrates methods from behavioral economics, neuroimaging, decision neuroscience, social psychology, computational modeling, and machine learning.
