Biography
Linda's primary pedagogical and research interests are in the neuroscience of decision making, with an focus on how the social and emotional brain affect the decision making process. Methodologically, she has conducted behavioral experiments with human participants using psychophysiology and neuroimaging methods: MEG, EEG and structural MRI. Scientifically, she has tested a priori hypotheses based on theory developed from extant literature from across neuroscience sub-disciplines: systems, behavioral, decision, and cognitive; while at the same time being open to unexpected and unpredicted but robust patterns of results in the data born of sophisticated statistical learning techniques.
