My research program focuses on direct behavioral assessments of data from non-human primates under controlled laboratory-like conditions in combination with computational analysis and modeling techniques that simulate the observed behavior / processes and break the findings down from unique species-specific characteristics to the common denominator which is shared among species. The goal is to combine “the naturalist's eye” for species-specific behavior with the “psychologist's eye” for the common and shared cognitive mechanisms.
