Research topics: The goal of this project is to implement and 
investigate dynamic causal models (DCM) of brain areas involved in 
attentional mechanisms during conflict processing. The model will be 
developed in collaboration with the Institute for Theoretical Biology 
and Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin (Dr. Laurenz 
Wiskott & Prof. Dr. John-Dylan Haynes).
