Alex Woolgar

Professor of Integrative and Systems Neuroscience, Department of Psychology

Alex Woolgar studies the neural basis for flexible cognitive control, underpinning the incredible human capacity for diverse and flexible behaviour. She is interested in how information from the world is represented, exchanged, and transformed between brain regions and how (and whether!) the activation patterns we decode give rise to thought and behaviour.
