Current Position
Research assistant, post-doctoral position.
Research Interests
I investigate the direct effects of saccadic consequences on visual search learning in naturalistic scenes (in humans).
During my doctorate, I studied the control of saccadic eye movements in human adults within the operant learning framework. This approach focuses on the modification, maintenance and selection of behavior by reinforcement contingencies.
Under Prof. L. Madelain’s supervision, we set up and conducted series of behavioral experiments where we manipulated saccadic eye movements consequences and provided reinforcement in real time to induce changes in saccadic properties
- such as gain and variability.
