Experimental Design
Designed and conducted cognitive and computational neuroscience experiments. Wrote a federally funded research grant proposal defining scope, methods, timeline, and budget.
PhD Research in Neuroscience
Conducted a multi-year research program investigating the neural mechanisms underlying perceptual decision making. Designed experiments, developed real-time research software, analyzed behavioral and neural data, secured NIH funding, and published findingspublished in leading scientific journals.
Scope of Work
Software Development
Designed and developed real-time research software enabling multimodal data acquisition, interactive visual interfaces, and automated experimental workflows.Designed and developed real-time research software enabling data acquisition, interactive visual interfaces, and automated experimental workflows.
Data Collection, Analysis, & Modeling
Collected, analyzed, and modeled behavioral and neural data. Applied statistical methods and computational models to evaluate hypotheses and interpret experimental results.
Scientific Communication
Presented findings at international conferences and published results in peer-reviewed journals.Presented findings at international conferences and published results in peer-reviewed journals.
Selected Publications
Saccade Metrics Reflect Decision-Making Dynamics During Urgent Choices
Nature Communications, 2018
Demonstrated that decision-related processes influence eye movement kinematics, including peak velocity. Using computational modeling, we identified a plausible neural mechanism by which this could occur.
A Conflict Between Spatial Selection and Evidence Accumulation in Area LIP
Nature Communications, 2022
Found that neuronal activity in the lateral intraparietal area does not reliably reflect accumulated sensory evidence during informed choices. The results suggest it instead tracks the deployment of spatial attention.
