Alex Huk received his Ph.D. in Psychology (Neuroscience Area) from Stanford University in 2001.
Research in Dr. Huk's lab attempts to understand how our brains accrue, weigh, and remember evidence.
To address these issues, they measure neural activity while observers make decisions about visual stimuli
and communicate their decisions with motor responses. These experiments are especially interesting when
definitive decisions are required in response to sensory evidence that is ambiguous, weak, or derived from
multiple sources. Studies focus on understanding the links between neural activity and behavior as simultaneously
measured during the performance of sensory decision-making tasks. Their work includes fMRI experiments performed
at the new UT Imaging Research Center.
