Hi! I'm Juliette Bénon.

I obtained a PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience at the Paris Brain Institute, supervised by Jean Daunizeau in the Motivation Brain Behavior team.

I studied the mechanisms of goal-directed behavior, through models of computational and neuro-computational processes involved in value-based decision making.

My first paper focuses on the optimal effort allocation policy for value synthesis, building on the idea that investing mental effort or resources in a decision increases one's confidence in the final choice.

In my second paper, I use recurrent artificial neural networks to identify potential biological constraints on the neural code of the orbitofrontal cortex that might induce irrational decisions through interferences during value construction.
