Rebecca Lawson is Professor of Neuroscience and Computational Psychiatry at Department of Psychology, University of Cambridge. Her work uses computational models, pharmacology and brain imaging to understand how humans learn to build adaptive expectations about the world around us, other people and ourselves. The aim is to understand how and when predictions are realised in the brain, how these mechanisms develop in babies and how they might underlie individual differences in how the world is experienced by people with neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric conditions. Rebecca is also a Royal Society Wellcome Trust Henry Dale Fellow, and Bye-Fellow at Peterhouse College.
