Brandon M. Turner

Brandon M. Turner's research combines computational modeling with neuroscience to study how the brain makes decisions and learns categories. This work involves building mathematical and computational models that link brain activity (such as brain imaging data) to behavior, including topics like evidence accumulation during decision-making, attention during category learning, and comparisons between human and animal (e.g., pigeon) learning systems. Prospective students would likely engage with quantitative modeling, cognitive neuroscience methods, and interdisciplinary work bridging psychology, statistics, and brain science.

Publication output peaked around 2018-2019, then declined and has remained relatively steady at a lower level (roughly 6-12 per year) over the past five years.
