Research expertise

• Sensorimotor control of voluntary movements
• Cortical neural mechanisms of movement planning and control
• Cortical neural mechanisms of decision making

Main research projects

• Recording neural activity in the premotor, prefrontal, and primary motor cortex of monkeys when performing decision-making tasks guided by ambiguous visual stimuli.
• Psychophysical studies in humans of decision-making in tasks with ambiguous visual stimuli.
• Human MEG study of cortical activity during decision-making tasks with ambiguous visual stimuli, and during the performance of the same task by a computer that makes good or bad decisions from trial to trial.

Approaches used

• Neural recordings in the cerebral cortex of monkeys
• Psychophysical studies in monkeys and human subjects
• Computational modeling
• MEG imaging
