Research in our lab investigates the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms of adaptive behaviour and learning, including how they develop, and what role they play in psychopathology
We use functional and structural neuroimaging, neurochemical imaging, peripheral and central psychophysiology, mathematical modelling, behavioural testing, and personality and psychodiagnostic instruments
With collaborators from multiple disciplines, we work at the interface of the following themes:
Multi-level studies of the regulation of positive and negative emotion
Network function in expert and disordered decision-making
The neurobiology of belief and agent-level representation
Typical and atypical adolescent brain development
The links between brain, hormone, and cardiovascular function across the lifespan
