My research examines how learning influences decisions about goals. I will present the results of three neuroimaging studies investigating how the human striatum adjusts goal-directed behavior in response to reward feedback. I will also touch on some recent work linking neural recordings from striatal neurons of nonhuman primates and fMRI recordings from humans performing similar goal-directed decision-making tasks.
