Research

     I have the pleasure of taking part in many activities of the Lab. This includes fMRI data acquisition and analysis, interacting with subjects in experiments, and discussing experimental results and implications.  Past work has included collaboration with Mauricio Delgado in the field of neuroeconomics, specifically investigating decision-making. Behavior was first tested in a laboratory setting, where theory was substantiated, then moved to the fMRI environment, where the underlying neuroscience was investigated.
