About

My background, my research

R E C E N T   P R O J E C T S
free will

Spontaneous actions
Proceedings of the Royal Society (PDF)

An invited review about the evolutionary roots of free will, largely presenting data on spontaneous actions and decision-making in invertebrates.

habit

Multiple learning systems
Behavioral Processes (PDF)

Learning from trial and error involves two hierarchically interacting learning systems.

habit

Habit Formation
Current Biology (PDF)

Extended training can lead to habit formation even in fruit flies. In the Drosophila brain, the mushrom-bodies regulate this process.

skinnergens

Skinnerian genes
Current Biology (PDF)

Operant conditioning engages two processes which can be distinguished genetically.
