Welcome to the Affective Brain Lab!
We are a cognitive neuroscience research laboratory dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the human brain, mind and behavior. We are especially interested in understanding human decision making, information processing, belief formation and motivation.
We aim to bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. Our research findings have a range of implications for improving mental health, reducing misinformation and improving the interactions between humans and technology.
Our research is interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of psychology, neuroscience and economics. We leverage a multidisciplinary approach, combining computational modeling, virtual reality tools, neuroimaging techniques, behavioral experiments, psychopharmacology, analysis of web browsing behavior and natural language processing, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the human mind, brain and behavior.
Our lab is part of the department of Experimental Psychology at UCL, The Max Planck UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT. We collaborate with psychiatrists, economists, policy makers, neuroscientists and psychologists world-wide.
