Hi, I’m Kahini 👋

I’m currently a Neuroscience PhD student at Columbia working on decision-making and cognition using behavioral data, computational models, and human single-neuron recordings.

My focus is on building tasks, analyses, and models that capture how people behave, particularly when decisions are noisy, suboptimal, or context-dependent.

What I work on

  • Decision-making and cognitive control
  • Behavioral task design and analysis
  • Computational models of choice and learning
  • Linking behavior to neural data

Code on here includes

  • Task implementations used in human experiments
  • Behavioral analysis and modeling code
  • Data validation and preprocessing scripts
  • Contributions to larger research toolchains (including prior work on neuroimaging pipelines such as xcp_d)

Some repositories have project- or paper-linked names and are kept stable for reproducibility.

Tools & languages

Python, R, shell scripting
Behavioral experiments, modeling, and analysis
Experience with large research pipelines and collaborative codebases

Collaboration

I’m happy to collaborate on:

  • Decision-making and cognitive experiments
  • Behavioral modeling and task design
  • Research code that prioritizes clarity and reproducibility

If something here is useful, feel free to use it or reach out.
