Research Bio
The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN) Lab is a part of the Department of Psychology and the The Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute at UC Berkeley. We build and test computational models of learning and executive function. Our research focuses on learning and executive function. We believe that the brain’s processes for learning and decision making are complex and multi-faceted, more like a symphony played by many musicians, each good at their own instrument, than a melody played by one or two instruments. We use behavioral experiments (computer games!), computational modeling, and brain imaging techniques to characterize the mechanisms that support humans' flexibility and adaptability in new environments.
