My research is focused on perceptual and value-based human decision-making processing, and on how these high-level cognitive systems interact with lower level action planning and spatial attention systems. The aim is to understand how sensory evidence, expectation, and detection of the reward associated with an event influence and modulate action planning and spatial attention systems in the human brain during experimental situations in which prior knowledge of the reward associated with a target event or sensory information associated with a motor decision must be weighted and translated into behaviour.
