The University of Surrey

At our School of Psychology in Surrey, we are committed to the benefit of society through our entrepreneurial and forward-thinking spirit, as well as through research-led teaching in basic and applied research. In university-level collaborations, we are tackling the broader themes of One Health One Medicine, Healthy Aging and Supporting Long-Term Conditions, Urban Living, Sustainability, and Human-Centered AI. Our strong links with the BPS, business and the NHS enrich the curriculum and make a significant contribution to the school’s research and the high employment rates for psychology graduates in Surrey. We have a strong track record of innovation in psychology, from discoveries in cognitive psychology to establishing novel programs in environmental psychology and clinical doctorates to shaping pan-European approaches to food labelling. The Brain and Behavior section includes pioneering research on neuromodulation in typical and atypical populations, biomarker development, and the gut-brain axis. The future of psychology in Surrey is supported by ongoing investments in our people and infrastructure; For example, we recently opened our 6-room extended reality (XRL) simulation room to enable exciting opportunities for novel research (including mobile tES/EEG/fNIRS) in cognitive neuroscience and other fields, as well as two observation suites. .

Feel free to contact Prof Roi Cohen Kadosh ([email protected]) if you would like further information or to discuss the paper.
