Why do so many mental health problems emerge during adolescence? What are the developmental processes in cognition and brain that go awry and lead to psychiatric disorders?

The Developmental Computational Psychiatry lab uses modern cognitive neuroscience and computational modelling methods to understand how deviations from normative developmental trajectories can lead to the emergence of psychiatric symptoms and how we may be able to detect and intervene before such processes go awry.

Our lab is based at the University of Tübingen and at University College London. If you are interest in working in the lab or if you would like to participate in our studies, please get in touch!

How exploration develops and is linked to impulsivity

Chocolate, hibiscus or spinach ice-cream? Many decisions we make require arbitrating between novelty (e.g., hibiscus) and the benefits of familiar options (e.g., chocolate). This is called the exploration-exploitation trade-off...
