Research summary
AI-generated

Aidan Makwana's research focuses on how the brain makes decisions, particularly how visual attention and reward or punishment signals shape activity in areas like the prefrontal cortex (a brain region involved in decision-making and cognitive control). This work combines neuroscience methods (such as EEG, which measures brain electrical activity) with studies of economic and social decision-making. One additional publication on soothing techniques in pediatric dentistry appears unrelated to this core research line.

Publication output was sparse and irregular for most of the decade, with gaps in several years, but activity has increased noticeably since 2024-2025.
