Research
Objectives
Mike Cohen is a third year graduate student.
He studies the neural bases
of decision-making. For example, in one of his experiments,
Mike
showed that different emotional and cognitive processes engaged during
decision-making tasks (for example, reward processing and uncertainty
evaluation) recruit distinct dopaminergic brain circuits. Further,
he showed that individual differences in personality correlate
with activation in these areas in theoretically predictable and
meaningful ways. He currently uses fMRI and behavioral approaches,
and plans to start using ERP soon. His works-in-progress and
works-in-planning focus on how people make decisions about whether
to take risks.
