The lab has a strong emphasis on equality, diversity, and supporting lab members to thrive.

 

The lab is based at the Centre for Human Brain Health and Institute of Mental Health at the University of Birmingham, UK, with access to exceptional facilities including MRI, MEG, TMS, FUS, OPM, and fNIRS.
