My research project investigates the neurocognitive correlates of acquiring probabilistic sequential regularities. I apply various methods (behavioral, ERP, and fMRI experiments) to track how acquisition occurs during a simple statistical-sequence learning task (Alternating Serial Reaction Time Task) and another decision-making task that includes motivationally significant events (Balloon Analogue Risk Task). The results could contribute to the refinement of the neurocognitive models of behavior adaptation and sequential decision making.
