Soha Farboud

My name is Soha and I am a Ph.D. student in Lennart Verhagen's Cognitive Neuromodulation lab and Hanneke den Ouden’s Learning & Decision-making lab. I completed my master's in Medical Neurobiology at Radboud University. I had the greatest difficulty choosing between different tracks and courses at the time. Still one of my biggest weaknesses is making decisions. Naturally, I thought it would be a good idea to study this trait in humans. I am interested in understanding how our motivations guide our actions in often seemingly irrational ways. I will focus on unraveling the role of the striatum (a deep brain structure) in motivational decision-making by non-invasively modulating this nucleus with TUS (pretty cool, right?).
