PostDoctoral Associate, School of Cognitive Sciences (2020 - Present (from 2012 to 2014 as non-resident researcher))

Research Activities

I did my master in electronic engineering and worked on different object recognition models. I got interested to understand how the brain, this most complex matter in the universe, makes decision. I am following my interest in the brain mechanism of decision making in my PhD thesis. Under supervision of Dr. Reza Ebrahimpour and Dr. Roozbeh Kiani, I am investigating the process of decision making when the environment requires the brain to actively seek evidence.
