| RESEARCH ACTIVITIES - Description used by investigators to specify their area of expertise. |
| Key words: |
cognitive neuroscience, reinforcement learning, cognitive control, error processing, event-related potential, ADHD, error-related negativity, executive control, dopamine, motor control |
| Research interests: |
I am interested in the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie cognitive control - how people regulate their attention, thoughts, and actions in accord with high-level goals and intentions. In pursuing this interest I have asked two specific questions: How do people detect and correct their errors and, how do they learn from the consequences of their actions? |
