Dan BangSir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow,听Queen Square Institute of Neurology I study how humans build mental models of the world for behavioural control, with a focus on social behaviour. Social interaction is remarkably complex: an action that is rewarded in one context may be punished in another, and what we think or feel may clash with the behaviour that is required of us. I seek to understand how humans solve such problems, using behavioural testing, computational modelling and neuroimaging. These techniques allow me to characterise the cognitive processes underlying behaviour and study their implementation in the brain. A biologically-informed account of human social behaviour is important for advancing our understanding of disorders of mental health. Many mental disorders are social in nature 鈥� they manifest in interactions between people 鈥� but we lack a mechanistic explanation of what has gone awry.

James KirkbrideReader in Epidemiology,听Division of Psychiatry My lab,听PsyLife听(), aims to investigate听the social determinants of psychosis at multiple levels of causation across the life course.听I am听particularly interested in understanding how our social, built and physical environments can affect the risk of psychosis, and why migrants and their descendants show elevated rates of psychotic disorder. This research is explored through听series of multilevel and longitudinal epidemiological investigations. Our research currently includes听two large, epidemiological studies of first episode psychosis: the Social Epidemiology of Psychoses in East Anglia study [SEPEA] () and the Cambridgeshire centre of the EUropean network of schizophrenia networks studying Gene-Environment Interactions [EU-GEI] (). Future research projects will focus on Swedish linked longitudinal datasets, the UK ALSPAC birth cohort and a Canadian cohort of young people (NLSCY).

Katey WarranResearch Fellow in Social Science (Assets for Resilient Communities in Mental Health [MARCH] Network),听Institute of Epidemiology and听Health Katey is an interdisciplinary researcher who draws upon the fields of sociology, psychology, performance science, and philosophy to examine complex arts interventions and how they impact upon mental health and wellbeing.

For example, using theories from sociology to understand collective emotions and how they cement social bonds, drawing upon social psychology to explore the benefits of shared group identities, and applying theories from the philosophy of religion to unpack the more tacit, experiential aspects of creativity that unite people through shared ineffable experiences.
