Morten L. Kringelbach  Professor, D.Phil. TrygFonden Senior Research Fellow at the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford  Link to website

Professor Kringelbach directs the TrygFonden Research Group, a transnational research group based both at CFIN, Aarhus University and in the Department of Psychiatry, Oxford. The overall goal is to understand the fundamental neural mechanisms underlying human sensory and social pleasures, in order to increase our understanding and potential treatment of depression, obesity and eating disorders as well as with problems of parent-child attachment. This is accomplished through the study of normal, neuropsychiatric and clinical populations using converging neuroimaging methods such as magnetoencephalography (MEG) and deep brain stimulation (DBS) combined with functional MRI, PET and DTI.
