Dr Filippo Queirazza
- Clinical Senior Lecturer (Mental Health & Wellbeing)
- Visiting Researcher (School of Psychology & Neuroscience)
Research interests
- Computational Psychiatry
- Characterising the neural and computational mechanisms of value-based/perceptual learning and metacognition in the context of mental disorders and maladaptive decision-making. To this end I use a multimodal approach, which combines neuroimaging, computational modelling and pattern recognition techniques in both control and clinical groups.
- Developing clinically viable neurocomputational assays that will enable stratification of current psychiatric diagnostic categories into mechanistically distinct subgroups and inform prediction of clinically relevant outcomes.
