Psychology department @ Reed College
Our lab research focuses on understanding the fundamentals and common mechanisms of 'rational' or 'irrational' behaviors. We follow a multilevel approach using a variety of analytical methods (see Techniques for details) to study the brain and behavior across species. We investigate how decisions are made under uncertainty and risk, and how the use of drugs and environmental factors affects decisions.
