We design tasks that help us probe cognitive processes like perception, belief updating and memory

We construct computational models of how the brain might perform our experimental tasks, to understand how this process might be different in different people

We use brain imaging (functional MRI and Magnetoencephalography) to link cognitive or computational processes to specific brain areas

We use models of how the brain generates the signals detected by neuroimaging to understand how neural circuits may behave differently in mental health conditions

We measure the effects of drugs on cognitive tasks and brain imaging, to see whether they might be effective new treatments for mental health problems.

We try to make sure the techniques we use are as rigorous, reliable and useful as possible, and we make them available for others to use
