Research Interests
The main focus of my research is on human learning, memory and decision-making, with an emphasis on aging-related changes of these cognitive processes. To this end, I combine cognitive computational models of behavior with neuroimaging data during task execution. The goal of this approach is to link behavioral signatures of cognitive processes to brain activations that underlie these processes. On the long run, I hope that this will shed light on the cause of inter-individual differences in higher cognitive functions, why some of them deteriorate with increasing age, and how these deteriorations can be remediated. Past and current other work also involves the investigation of resting-state functional brain networks and cognitive control functions.
