I use neuroimaging, computational modeling, machine learning and neural stimulation techniques to study how the brain represents and uses uncertainty, and performs adaptive computations based on noisy, incomplete information. I specifically focus on how these abilities support metacognitive evaluations of the quality of (mostly perceptual) decisions, and how these processes might relate to phenomenology and conscious awareness.

I use behavior, eye tracking, and fMRI to study perception, attention, and consciousness. My research laboratory has a specific focus on questions relating to peripheral vision (why do we think we see more of the periphery than we really do?), multisensory integration (how do metacognitive systems index hierarchical audiovisual computations?) and prefrontal cortex (is activity in this brain area necessary for consciousness?).
