Our mission is to improve human health by understanding and enhancing cognition and behaviour in health, disease, and disorder. To achieve this our researchers need participants to collect data for their studies which test theories about the functioning of the mind and brain, both in healthy adults and in those with disease/disorder.

Our main techniques, other than behavioural testing are fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging); MEG (Magnetoencepholography); EEG (Electroencepholography); TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulaton).  All of these are completely safe and non-invasive, they do not involve needles, drugs, radiation or x-rays.

Once you have registered on our system, you will be able to see the studies for which you meet the selection criteria and sign-up to a slot.  Or you can email the researcher for more information beforehand, they will always be willing to discuss the study with you.  There is never any pressure to participate, it is up to you to decide which experiments you would like to participate in and how often.

Most of our studies take place at our Unit in Chaucer Road, a short walk south of the city centre. You can look at a map and get directions to Chaucer Road here. Sometimes our fMRI experiments take place at the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre, at Addenbrookes hospital (on this map).

If you are interested in taking part in our studies, you can apply to join the panel here.
