Welcome

I am a cognitive neuroscientist based at the Zurich Center for Neuroeconomics (ZNE) at the University of Zurich (UZH).

My main research aim is to understand how humans make simple everyday decisions and how their decisions are shaped by fundamental properties of brain architecture.

Updates

2026

  • 2026-06-12 Our cognitive-modelling package bauer now supports DDM and race-diffusion likelihoods, so models can be informed by reaction times as well as choices.
  • 2026-06-12 Check out our new preprint on how separable efficient codes shape both perception and value along the pathway from sensation to action.
  • 2026-04-04 Check out our new preprint on how the OFC/vmPFC implements a probabilistic population code for value.

2025

  • 2025-11-10 Check out our new preprint on how the effect of stress on risky decision-making and numerical representations.
  • 2025-09-27 Check out our new preprint on how numerical receptive fields shift depending on task demands.
  • 2025-09-21 Check out my material for a workshop on Computational Methods for Neuroeconomics in beautiful Soglio, Switzerland.
