My research interests are in Clinical Behavioural Neuroscience. Currently, I am working with Virtual Reality and Pavlovian-Instrumental Transfer (PIT) to investigate the effects of threat on goal-directed and habitual learning in individuals with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and OCD trait tendencies. This includes bespoke horror scenarios created for collaboration by BAFTA award-winning horror video games company Ninja Theory and biomarker methods such as heart rate and salivary analysis for Alpha-Amylase to measure for stress. Moreover, I worked on the behavioural component of a Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy study in adolescents with OCD examining the neurochemical profiles of GABA and Glutamate in the Putamen, Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Supplementary Motor Area.
