decision-making

Official start Brain and Cognition programme

On September 14 the UvA research priority area Brain and Cognition to which I am affiliated will officially kick-off with a small symposium.
Brain and Cognition deals with how the brain makes certain skills possible, such as perception, thought and action, as well as emotion, consciousness and movement. In short, it is concerned with the mental skills that enable people to deal with their environment appropriately and better themselves.

Grant funded

A grant proposal I helped write has been funded! Now we have funding for a postdoc for three years. The project will be about decision-making with a focus on multiple-choice. As in related projects we will apply model-based MRI techniques.
The new postdoc will start in June.

New postdoc position at University of Amsterdam

How do people make multiple-choice perceptual decisions in a noisy environment? That is the core question of my new postdoctoral research project at the University of Amsterdam. In the project we will test the ability of mathematical models of decision-making to capture the behavioral consequences involved when the number of response alternatives increases. In turn, these models will inform and constrain analysis of fMRI data.
