Research while in the Mattingley Lab

I am a neuroscientist interested in the brain mechanisms and the connectivity underpinnings of perception. In particular, I am interested in how we learn and detect irregularities in environmental statistics. To address these questions I use magnetoencephalography (MEG), electroencephalography (EEG), psychophysics, and computational modelling.

Research interests

  • Learning and perception
  • Computational neuroscience
  • Computational psychiatry
  • Brain connectivity
