Welcome to the Schmidt lab!

We study neural mechanisms underlying action control. Our focus is on computational models of neuronal activity and new algorithms for the analysis of electrophysiological data. The lab is in the Department of Psychology at the University of Sheffield. Find out more about our research here.
