• Professor Michael Anderson
  Dr. Anderson focuses on fundamental mechanisms of memory, attention, and cognitive control, and their interaction. A central observation is that memory, like other aspects of cognition and behaviour, poses problems of control. Dr. Anderson uses ...

  I study the precise anatomical and functional organization of domain-general brain regions using mutlimodal MRI techniques of the Human Connectome Project (HCP) and invasive electrophysiology data from human patients. Domain-general or Multiple-...
• Dr Sara Baker
  I am interested in the role of pre-frontal functions (i.e., impulse control) in the formation and expression of beliefs especially during early childhood. I use behavioral and physiological measures (eye-tracking) to examine how children learn to...
• Dr Paula Banca
  My research is aimed at understanding the neural mechanisms underlying action control with the purpose of developing more effective treatments in psychiatric diseases. I am interested in compulsive disorders, particularly Obsessive-Compulsive Diso...
• Lydia Barnes
  I'm interested in how a limited physical system like the brain supports flexible focus on many different tasks. Humans are remarkable for their ability to generalise from what they know to new situations. We now know that a widespread 'multiple-de...
• Mr Bastiaan Bijleveld
  My current project involves investigating the neural substrates of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). One particular region of interest for us is the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). This brain region has a central multifaceted role in OC...
• Gesa Sophia Borgeest
  I'm a PhD student working with Dr Rogier Kievit in the executive processes group at the MRC CBU. I use psychometric techniques in large-sample, multimodal, longitudinal datasets to address how the human brain ages. Specifically, I am investigating...

• 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...
• Ms Nadene Dermody
  Despite the wealth of information available to us at any one time, we are able to navigate through these sensory-laden environments in a purposeful way. How do our brains select what is relevant to our current goal, direct our behaviour accordingl...
• 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 Alejandro Ezquerro-Nassar
  Despite our intuitions to the contrary, we have no direct access to the physical properties of the world around us. Instead, we rely on fragile brain processes to interpret and navigate our complex environment. Often taken for granted, our ability...
• 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 Ayla Humphrey PhD
  Ayla Humphrey is the Lead for Children and Young People’s Psychology, CPFT and Clinical Researcher, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge. Her interest is in the advancement of services for children & families and early identification...
• Dr Hamid Karimi-Rouzbahani
  With an interest in method development for neuroimaging analysis (EEG, MEG and fMRI) using machine learning, I pursue three main questions in cognitive neuroscience: How does the human brain support visual perception? How is information transfer...
• 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...
• Runhao Lu
  A distributed "multiple-demand" (MD) network across the frontoparietal brain regions is thought to be crucial for human intelligent behaviours because of its incredible function to flexibly and adaptively process task-relevant information. Althoug...
• Anne Manktelow
  I work part-time in the Division of Anaesthesia as a Research Assistant conducting the follow-up studies with patients recovering from traumatic brain injury (including MRI scanning and neuropsychological testing). I am also undertaking a part-ti...
• Professor Hugh Markus
  I use molecular genetic and neuroimaging (MRI and Transcranial Doppler) techniques to investigate the pathogenesis of, and develop treatments for, cerebrovascular disease. A particular interest is in cerebral small vessel disease, a major cause of...
• Dr Staci Meredith weiss
  My objective as a postdoctoral fellow within the Perinatal Imaging Partnership is to reconcile neural indicators of body maps, such as the somatosensory mismatch negativity and social body fNIRS, with behavioral profiles of infant spontaneous move...
• Dorian Minors
  My current research interests lie in the neural mechanisms that underpin intelligent behaviour. Many relatively unsophisticated animals appear to show glimpses of the highest orders of cognitive ability, once thought to be out of reach of such tin...
• Dr Davide Nardo
  I investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms of memory, emotional, and thought control in humans (both psychiatric populations and healthy controls) using behavioural, psychophysiological, and functional and structural neuroimaging techniques.
