The Perception, Action, and Decision-Making Group (PAD) undertakes cutting-edge research into how the human brain supports cognition, perception and action, and how these key abilities may be affected in neurological and psychiatric disorders. Using tools from neuroscience and experimental psychology, we explore a range of fundamental and applied questions, such as how zero gravity impacts cognition, how the brain constructs representations of places and events, and the interplay between decision-making and depression.
