My research aims to understand the neurocognitive processes supporting the experience of human action. I use a range of methods and approaches including patient studies, psychopharmacology, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional neuroimaging (fMRI). Of particular interest to me is human 'agency', the capacity to intentionally modify one’s environment to satisfy one’s goals. The experience, or sense, of agency is deeply entwined with our everyday notions of freedom and responsibility. Moreover, certain psychiatric and neurological disorders are characterized by disturbances in this experience.

Research interests

My research aims to understand the neurocognitive processes supporting the experience of human action. I use a range of methods and approaches including patient studies, psychopharmacology, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional neuroimaging. Of particular interest to me is human 'agency', the capacity to intentionally modify one’s environment to satisfy one’s goals. The experience, or sense, of agency is deeply entwined with our everyday notions of freedom and responsibility. Moreover, certain psychiatric and neurological disorders are characterized by disturbances in this experience.

Ongoing research projects include:
1) Developing and testing an optimal cue integration model of agency experience that I introduced
2) Exploring the brain basis of agency perception using fMRI and TMS
3) Understanding aberrant agency experiences in psychiatric and neurological disorders
4) Exploring agency in Human-Computer-Interaction
