DECISION NEUROSCIENCE LAB @ CMC

Welcome to the Decision Neuroscience Lab at CMC!

Our lab uses electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERP) to understand how the activity of neural populations in the brain gives rise to behavior. EEG is a non-invasive technique with high temporal resolution, enabling us to capture dynamic brain activity related to perception and decision-making as it unfolds over time.

Here are just some of the research topics examined in our lab:

Computation of value signals during decision-making
Sensorimotor processing for body movement perception
Intersection of perception, action, and value

Involving Undergraduates in Scientific Research

Involvement of undergraduates in scientific research is a key component of the Decision Neuroscience Lab's mission. Students receive hands-on experience with EEG data collection, contributing to every stage of research from early experimental piloting through co-authoring scientific posters and papers. As research assistants, students gain real-world skills in programming, leadership, and teamwork. Lab alumni have gone on to a variety of career paths, including graduate school, medical school, consulting, and the technology sector.
