Understanding how the brain works is one of the last great frontiers of modern science and experimental psychology and neuroscience are amongst the fastest developing areas of biomedical science.
The Course
Wadham admits research students for the DPhil and MSc(Res) in Experimental Psychology in both full-time and part-time modes of study, the DPhil and MSc(Res) in Clinical Neurosciences, the MSc in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience and the DPhil in Neuroscience. It also accepts applications for the one-year taught MSc courses in MSc in Clinical and Therapeutic Neuroscience, Psychological Research, and Neuroscience.
Further details of these courses can be found on the websites of the Department of Experimental Psychology, the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience and Oxford Neuroscience.
The Tutors
Prof Bernhard Staresina
Bernhard's research is focussed on understanding the neural and cognitive mechanisms that support learning and memory in humans.
Christopher Summerfield
Chris Summerfield heads a lab focused on understanding Christopher Summerfield the computational mechanisms by which humans make decisions, and how these processes are implemented in the brain. His work involves a combination of computer simulations, behavioural testing, and functional brain imaging.
