Research interests
Future directions in systems & computational neuroscience.
My future research focuses on how learned predictive structures are expressed in neural activity, when they are revised, and how they contribute to affect and self-representation.
Learning & predictive representations
How does repeated experience stabilise predictive representations that guide perception and action?
Uncertainty & rule updating
How does the brain decide whether unexpected evidence reflects noise or a change in the underlying rule?
Interoception, affect & self-representation
How do learned expectations shape the neural representation of bodily states and the self?
