Research Areas

From which meal we choose for lunch to the decision of how much effort we invest in our goals, our daily life constantly requires us to decide between different courses of action. Our research group investigates the psychological, neural, and computational foundations of value-based decisions in healthy and clinical populations. I am particularly interested in the neural foundations of impulse control, metacognition, mentalization, and mental effort, as well as how they influence decision-making processes. To this end, I combine computational models of decision-making with experimental and neuroscientific methods, including neuroimaging (fMRI, spectroscopy, EEG) and neural interventions (TMS, tDCS, psychopharmacology).
