Value-driven modulation of perception and choice

Reward signals can not only act as an incentive to invigorate actions and guide value-based decisions, but can also modulate the earliest stages of sensory perception. I will present the results of our recent studies examining the value-driven modulation of behavioral and neural responses across these three axes. The key question that we are trying to answer is how specific features of reward signals; such as their level of awareness, their sensory modality and their task contingency; impact on value-driven effects.

Choice history bias as a window into cognition and neural circuits

Recent advances in training mice to perform complex tasks, combined with powerful optogenetic and neural measurement tools, have positioned mice as an ideal model species for probing the neural circuit mechanisms of cognition. An important assumption underlying this line of work is that these mechanisms are preserved across mammalian species, and provide insight into the same cognitive processes that play out in the human brain.
