Research interests

I am (systems) neuroscientist with an interest in the neural mechanisms of perception and cognition. How does the brain process information and what mechanisms give rise to flexible, goal-directed behavior? How can we get a grip on these processes and improve life? I have worked on a range of topics including visual perception, attention, multimodal integration, neural plasticity, decision-making, working memory, reward processing and basic neural coding problems using behavioral, computational, neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods in non-human primates, humans, & rodents.

Currently, I am working on a project in which we combine (deep) brain stimulation, functional neuroimaging and electrophysiological recordings in non-human primates to investigate the dynamic neural networks underlying vision, reward-processing and executive functions.
