Research Interests
I am interested in exploring the mechanisms that describe and/or affect behavioral and neuronal responses during decision making in social interaction. In my research, I use diverse methods (Mturk, psychophysiological recordings, mouse tracking/eye tracking, computational modeling, EEG, TDCS/TMS and fMRI) to find answers to these questions:
1) How do people make positive and negative empathetic responses to others?
2) How can we profile and measure aspects of social inference, decision making, and strategic interactions in different individuals?
3) What is the role of mentalizing in social emotion and decision making?
4) How do the reward and punishment systems interact during decision making?
