Dr Felippe Espinelli AmorimUniversity positionResearch Associate DepartmentsHome pagehttps://www.psychol.cam.ac.uk/staff/d... Research ThemesInterestsMy research interests comprise behavioral neuroscience and computational neuroscience. Currently, I study phenotypical characteristics of obssesive-compulsive disorder using translationally relevant animal models. For that, I am using different techniques such as behavioral experiments, machine learning models and software development. I also have interest in understanding which plasticity systems are behind memory reconsolidation and destabilization. Research Focus
EquipmentBehavioural analysis Computational modelling Electroencephalography (EEG) Collaborators
