Research Summary
My research investigates the psychological and neural mechanisms that underpin how we interact with other people. As part of this aim, I examine how our ability to interact with others is affected by factors such as personality, ageing and psychiatric and neurological disorders including conduct problems, stroke and Parkinson's Disorder.
I use a range of methods including questionnaires, behavioural paradigms, functional magnetic resonance imaging, neuropsychological studies and computational modelling.
