I’m interested in how the brain supports flexible and adaptive behavior in changing and uncertain environments. To tackle this issue, I use tools from computational neurosciences and neurophysiological/imaging recordings (MRI, EEG/MEG, intracranial EEG) of human brain activity while it’s engaged in dynamically controlling decision-making processes. As a psychiatrist specializing in treatment-resistant OCD/depression and neuromodulation, I’m also interested in using the same approach to study the computational underpinning of psychiatric diseases.
