Kurt Braunlich, Ph.D.
I am a cognitive neuroscientist in the Section on Learning and Plasticity
of the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition
at the National Institute of Mental Health.
Broadly, I am working to better understand the computational principles and biological mechanisms underlying our ability to organize and selectively process perceptual information. I combine insights derived from computational modeling, neuroimaging, and behavior to address questions related to attention, learning, and decision-making.
