The aim of my PhD is to investigate menstrual cycle-related changes in mental health. My first project uses computational approaches to explore changes in motivational decision-making and anhedonia between the periovulatory phase (characterised by high oestrogen levels) and the perimenstrual phase (low oestrogen) in a large online sample.
