Cognitive Control & Habit Laboratory

Our research laboratory is centered in the study of (i) cognitive control and (ii) habitual behaviours. Specifically, we seek to understand how reactive and proactive control is mediated by different brain areas and their causal implication using neuromodulation. The second research line tries to understand how associative learning occurs in behaviour and the brain using experimental and real-life measures. A strong approach we use is to test these cognitive processes in healthy humans to then translate in pathological conditions perturbing fronto-striatal connections and dopamine.
