OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Debbie Yee is a postdoctoral fellow at John Brown University whose research bridges neural and behavioral psychology with a focus on decision-making. She investigates the neural mechanisms underlying motivation, cognitive control, and reinforcement learning. Yee's work explores how reward and punishment influence cognitive processes, mental effort allocation, and adaptive behavior. Recent studies have examined the role of the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex in encoding the motivational value of cognitive task performance and the interoceptive origins of reinforcement learning. Her investigations utilize functional brain connectivity studies to understand neural dynamics and brain function.
