Peters, Megan - University of California, Riverside

个人简介

Dr. Peters received her Ph.D. in computational cognitive neuroscience (psychology) from UCLA in 2014. Her research aims to reveal how the brain represents and uses uncertainty and uncertain information to perform probabilistic computations that produce adaptive behavior, perception, and awareness. Dr. Peters uses neuroimaging, computational modeling, machine learning and neural stimulation techniques to study these topics.
