Philippe Tobler studied experimental psychology with a focus on the oculomotor system. He obtained his PhD investigating reward processing in single dopamine neurons. His postdoctoral work involved employing functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans to shed light on brain processes related to economic reward parameters, risk, delay, and probability. Currently, he is interested in the neural basis of reward, learning, economic decision-making, and social behavior, studying both group effects and individual differences using a variety of methods. He is particularly interested in brain structures such as the dopaminergic midbrain, striatum, and prefrontal cortex.
