About
Additional Research Interests: Neuroimaging, Attention
The goal of our research is to develop computational theories of minds—both human and artificial. We focus on problems in language and memory, decision making, and reinforcement learning and motivation. An over-arching theoretical principle guiding all of our work is bounded or computational rationality: understanding how cognitive processes are adaptive reflections of the joint constraints of the internal-to-mind computational architecture and the external environment.
