As a Ph.D. candidate in applied psychology, I explore the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying altered social cognition in clinical populations, using computational modeling and brain imaging, with a current focus on prior expectations.
My research interests include:
- Understanding the dynamic role of prior expectations in social cognition.
- Developing computational algorithms to delineate prior expectations, serving as a world model to guide social cognition in artificial intelligence.
- Understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms of social information processing in social interactions using computational modeling and brain imaging.
- Identifying the failure mode in cognitive, emotional, and social processes in clinical populations with mood and anxiety disorders, and autism.
- Mapping neuropathological differences across age groups in clinical populations.
