Research Area(s):
Developmental Science
Dissertation:
Representation of Reward and Risk in the Brain’s Motor System: Studies in Adolescents and Adults
Masters Thesis:
The Effects of Reward and Risk Level Associated with Speeded Actions: Evidence from Behavior and Electroencephalography
Research
I'm interested in how motivation affects human behaviors especially at the decision-making process observed under EEG and fMRI. I'm also interested in cross-cultural differences during the process.
