Collaborative Research
Behaviour, Brain & Society GRP
The Behaviour, Brain, and Society GRP is at the heart of enhancing and understanding human decision making and interactions with our environment.
Health GRP
The Health GRP works with a range of partners to address global health issues through research. Our academics work across disciplines, providing pioneering research into the health challenges that affect us all.
Neuroscience researchers within the School of Life Sciences work collaboratively with researchers across the University of Warwick:
Joanna Collingwood
We study trace metals in neurodegenerative disorders, and our analytical approaches include synchrotron x-ray spectroscopy and imaging, spectrometry, and magnetic resonance imaging. We have a keen interest in the interplay between trace metals and amyloid aggregation, and the implications for pathological processes in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related disorders.
Robert Dallmann
My research is focused on the interplay between our intricate internal timing system and diseases as well as their treatment. Understanding - on a mechanistic level - how clock disruption can lead to and influence disease progression and treatment is the main focus.
Richard Everitt
My research is on methods for calibrating mathematical models to real data, to ensure that the models can be somewhat representative of real-world processes. I am interested in applying these techniques in particular to inference for neural population models, from data such as that from EEG sensors.
Elliot Ludvig
I study how human and other animals learn to make effective decisions. My research uses behavioural experiments and computational modeling to resolve how risk, time, information, and effort impact on decision-making. I am also particularly interested in how reward learning is implemented in the dopaminergic system and related brain areas.
Kita Sotaro
I am an experimental psychologist, who is interested in language and communication. I am interested in the biological basis for communicative behaviours. For example, I do research on how children with rare genetic disorders develop communication abilities, and on how brain integrates information from speech and hand gesture, using EEG.
Massimiliano Tamborrino
I am interested in stochastic modelling and statistical inference in neuroscience for single and neural population dynamics, combining mathematical, numerical and statistical methods. Some data I worked with are discrete-time measurements of voltage potentials, spike times and EEG.
