Research summary
AI-generated

Sébastien Hélie studies how people learn skills, make decisions, and solve problems, with particular attention to how behaviors become automatic and how the brain supports these processes. His work combines computational modeling (building formal or mathematical simulations of thinking) with behavioral experiments on topics like decision-making, memory, and problem-solving, and includes some applied work on automatic behavior in construction work settings.
