Janneke Jehee studies human visual perception, perceptual decision-making, and uncertainty. She investigates how individuals decide what they see based on noisy sensory signals and the strategies they adopt to make perceptual decisions. Humans tend to trust their vision, believing it is a reliable transmitter of information about the visual environment. However, the truth is that visual signals are often noisy and incomplete. Jehee explores critical questions such as: 'How do we decide what we see based on limited and uncertain information?' and 'What brain mechanisms underlie this ability?' Her research focuses on the neural computations that enhance the reliability of sensory information and improve visual decision-making. Her lab employs a combination of neuroimaging techniques (such as fMRI), computational modeling, and visual psychophysics to address the neural basis of human vision and visual decision-making.
