Erica studies the computational and neural principles that guide learning. Why are some things harder to learn than others? Why do individuals struggle to learn different things? Erica addresses these questions with computational modeling, real-time fMRI, and neurofeedback. Erica has always been fascinated by mathematics, and her interest in computational cognitive neuroscience was sparked by a lecture on Bayesian inference and cognitive modeling.
