Overview
Our primary scientific interests concern the cognitive neuroscience of learning and memory across the life-span. More specifically, we are interested in dopaminergic and cholinergic neuromodulation and their relationship to learning, adaptation and motivation. To gain insight into these issues, we use multimodal imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) in combination with behavioural experiments and neuropsychopharmacology. Our work offers direct translational applications to clinical research investigating, for instance, dementia disorders, Schizophrenia and Parkinson's Disease which we perform in close collaboration with colleagues from the University College London, King's College London, University of Cambridge and University of Magdeburg.
