Cognition, Disorders and Computation Lab

Our interdisciplinary research team is focusing on researching in cognition and disorders using a range of experimental methodologies. We have recently incorporated machine learning into our research, which enables us to uncover novel patterns and relationships in our data.

By integrating computational modelling, machine learning and experimental methodologies we can make significant advances towards understanding the underlying brain processes, including cross-cultural differences in cognition and organisation leadership and cognition.

This work can also lead in identifying the causes of cognitive disorders, leading to the development of more effective treatments. Ìý
