The Cognition and Decision Science (CADS) Lab is directed by Dr. Kaileigh Byrne and is part of the Department of Psychology at Clemson University. Our research focuses on characterizing mechanisms of reward processing, learning, and decision-making that affect behavior. We use a multimodal approach to examine the cognitive, physiological, and computational processes that influence our decisions and actions.
