I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Psychology in Venezuela and my first research project (undergrad thesis) explored the relationship between expectations and the placebo effect in humans. In 2011, I obtained my Master’s degree in Behavioral Science (option Behavior Analysis) from the University of Guadalajara in Mexico, with a scholarship from the Council of Science and Technology (Conacyt). During my time there, under José Burgos’ orientation, I developed great interest for neural network models of learning, artificial intelligence, and selectionist models of behavior. My Master Thesis aimed to assess different control procedures for latent inhibition and put to the test novel predictions from a neural network model. Currently, I am a second year PhD student under the supervision of Armando Machado and Marco Vasconcelos (University of Aveiro). My studies are financed by a Fellowship from the Mexican Council of Science and Technology.
