• Dr Sanne de Wit
  Whilst our actions are often goal-directed, slips of action reveal that automatic, or habitual, mechanisms can take over. Although the concepts of goal-directed action and habits are well-grounded in folk psychology, most empirical research so far...
• Dr Veronika Dobler MRCPsych, PhD
  I am interested in the effect of Early Live Adversity (ELA) on neuro-cognitive development in later life. Psychological theories have long recognized that selective processing and distortions in appraisal of day-to day events as well as cognitive...
• Dr Yaara Erez
  My work combines a variety of techniques from cognitive and system neuroscience to study the neural mechanisms of information processing and cognitive control. I am interested in multiple aspects that modulate the way we process information such a...
• Mr Alejandro Ezquerro-Nassar
  How do we know what is real? From hallucinations to false memories, our brains can fool us into perceiving things that are not "out there" in the world. I am interested in the processes that give rise to these perceptual and cognitive distortions ...
• Professor Usha Goswami
  I am the Director of the Centre for Neuroscience in Education. The Centre uses EEG and fNIRS to explore the developing brain. Key research projects include the neural basis of developmental dyslexia, the neural basis of speech and language impairm...

• Dr Jonathan Jones
  I am currently investigating functional brain organisation in a large group of children who struggle at school. I am also interested in the development of cognitive control and how we can use cognitive training to investigate cognitive mechanisms.
• Dr Bianca Jupp
  My research primarily concerns investigating the neurobiology underlying the behavioural trait of impulsivity and related cognitive endophenotypes and how these confer risk for developing drug abuse and addiction. I am particularly interested in t...
• Dr Rogier Kievit
  My research focuses on using psychometric models to understand neurodevelopmental changes in executive functions. These cognitive abilities, such as reasoning, problem solving and goal management, develop rapidly during adolescence and often show ...
• Professor Zoe Kourtzi
  My work aims to understand the role of learning and experience in enabling humans of all ages to translate sensory experience into complex decisions and adaptive behaviours. Adaptive cognitive abilities are critical for survival and social interac...
• Dr Meng-Chuan Lai
  As a clinician scientist, my vision is to bridge and integrate multi-level biological-cognitive-psychological-social research and clinical services. My clinical interests are in the risk and resilience processes across the lifespan in individuals ...
• Dr Rebecca Lawson
  We all have expectations about how the how the world should look, feel, smell, taste and sound. These expectations act as predictions to guide us when we are uncertain, and signal when something out of the ordinary is happening. My work uses com...
