Had such an exciting week as a volunteer & poster presenter at my 1st ever conference, @ecbb2024!š I presented the Ape Research Index project's preliminary results & its future impacts on ape cognitive research. Thank you to my lovely supervisors sofia forss & Elisa Bandini




Iām happy to announce that I have begun my Honors Undergraduate Research Thesis under the supervision of Professor Paul Masset. Throughout the next year, I will develop models of cognitive tasks that can be used to investigate the neural basis of value-based decision making. š§




I am recruiting graduate students for my lab McGill University for admission in Fall 2025! Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.

It has been lovely organizing MontrĆ©al's first #cogsci conference for undergraduate student research. What a privilege to have Dr. Nancy Kanwisher @[email protected] join us as keynote for this event! Open to all - academics, students, industry professionals & curious thinkers alike Register nowš½
