Current research

My PhD project is focused on exploring the role of uncertainty in perceptual decision making. The project aims to use computational modelling of behavioural and neural data to characterise uncertainty, and to develop a neurofeedback training protocol to promote awareness of this uncertainty and optimize decision making.
