Areas of interest
I study the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms of adaptive behaviour and learning, including how they develop, and what role they play in psychopathology.
I use brain and body imaging, psychophysiology, mathematical modelling, and behavioural testing. With collaborators from multiple disciplines I take a molecules-to-mind approach to human cognition and behaviour.
