Who we are, what we do.

Picture
The Social Decision Lab is  continuously discovering how we adapt to social information and how we make decisions that change other people's lives.  We combine measures of neural activity, physiology and behaviour to provide fresh scientific perspective on motivations to help, to reach common ground, to teach and to learn. Our aim is to contribute to the scientific and popular understanding of the social brain, improve public policy and bolster efforts of organisations that seek to help people make better, prosocial choices.

We are currently we are looking at:
  • how social worlds influence decisions
  • how we value lives of others
  • cognitive approaches to understanding deliberate social change
  • neural models of complex social decisions 
  • communication, teaching and shared experiences
  • implications and realisations of all of the above in mental health disorders
