My research interests include perceptual and economic decision-making and reward-based learning. I have previously worked on projects investigating the role of counterfactual feedback on economic choices and the role of feedback in social decision making. My doctoral project focuses on how individuals learn and make value-based choices under varying levels of perceptual and reward uncertainty. I am using behavioural and fMRI studies with computational modelling to investigate the same.
