Description

Human perceptual decision-making: bridging molecules, systems and behaviour. Decision-making is the process through which sensory information is transformed into appropriate action and is critical to cognitive performance. This project aims to understand the causal neurobiological mechanisms underlying perceptual decision-making using a novel framework which combines non-invasive brain stimulation, neuroimaging, pharmacological and experimental manipulations, and neurally-informed behavioural modelling. Expected outcomes include a critical understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying both neural activity and decision-making performance in healthy individuals. This research will uncover the ways in which brain dynamics shape an individual's decisions, offering key insights for tailored interventions.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.
