My thesis work was computational modeling of the several neural systems involved in reward based learning and decision making. And then applying the predictions of those algorithms to animal models of OCD and several human behavioral experiments looking at people's performance correlated with several measures of dopamine levels.

My current work is looking at schizophrenics, bi-polor and mild traumatic brain injury patients. I am taking fMRI measurements and pulling certain parameters of the signal we get that correspond to certain properties of blood flow and microvasculature structure and comparing them to healthy controls.
