ATTENTION AND DECISIONS
How do our thoughts shape our actions? How do our actions shape and focus our thoughts? Our laboratory studies the links between cognition and decision making in behavioral, computational and physiological terms.
Of central interest in the lab are the mechanisms of information sampling, active learning and curiosity, and their significance for attention, decisions and cognitive control.
