Our lab addresses the computational and systems neuroscience of pain and behavioural homeostasis. This research is part theoretical: building realistic models of neuronal information processes to understand processes of pain perception and behaviour, and part experimental: testing these theories using a range of experimental methodologies, especially fMRI. My research aims to develop new technology-based therapies for treating pain in clinical populations.
We are based jointly at the Oxford Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging and the Oxford Institute for Biomedical Engineering. We are affiliated to the Podium Institute for Sports Technology, the Alan Turing Institute, and have overseas links with the Center for Information and Neural Networks in Osaka, and ATR labs (Kyoto). Our clinical base is at the John Radcliffe Hospital, offering NHS services in sleep, chronic pain and fatigue.
