About me
My research involves electrophysiological techniques for understanding the neural mechanisms that allow for decision making in the auditory system.
During my doctoral research in University of Salamanca (Spain) I studied how, along the auditory pathway, neural mechanisms such stimulus-specific adaptation increase the efficiency of the processing of sensory information. In my postdoctoral stay in University of Maryland (USA), I studied the effects of attention in the processing of sound sequences (e.g., speech).
Now, in the Cortical Circuit Dynamics Group, I use electrophysiology to:
1) characterize the responses of the neurons during the presentation of perceptually ambiguous sounds and,
2) understand the effect of history in the creation of biases during decision making.
