Available projects

  • Beyond Response Time and Choice: Understanding Changes of Mind in Decisions

    The project aims to provide novel experimental insight into how people change their minds during decisions, through identifying the cognitive architecture that reflects the behaviour that we observe from people. The project provides a substantially deeper understanding of the cognitive decision process and how it changes over time, as opposed to previous research focusing on only the final response that people make. The expected outcome is a comprehensive understanding of the human decision process through cognitive models that provide an accurate reflection of this mental process.

    Note that there is a UQ earmarked PhD scholarship available for this project.
