Neural Dynamics of Decision Confidence in Visual and Multisensory Perception

Christopher Fetsch, PhD

Assistant Professor of Neuroscience, Research Chair

Zanvyl Krieger Mind/Brain Institute, Johns Hopkins University

Dr. Christopher Fetsch's laboratory studies how neural activity gives rise to complex perceptual and cognitive functions. They investigate this multi-modal decision process using quantitative behavioral measurements, combined with modern tools for recording and manipulating neural activity in behaving nonhuman primates. Lab's goal is to uncover basic mechanisms underlying higher brain function, and to help pave the way toward developing or enhancing treatments for neurological disorders.
