About the lab
We study the complex interaction between mind, brain and body by combining experimental psychology, psychophysiology, neuroimaging, and microbiology.
Our focus is to better understand the interactions between brain and body to harness new understanding and applications in the context of mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions.
