Research Interests:
Currently, my research interests involve investigating how separable aspects of reward (e.g. liking, wanting, reinforcement learning) can influence the neural computation reflected in the Reward Positivity. Using ERP's, time frequency analysis, and computational modelling, we argue that the Reward Positivity (defined specifically by the rewarding feedback condition) reflects an additive delta signal independent from a punishment-sensitive obligatory background ERP.
