Ben Seymour

Ben Seymour's lab addresses the computational and systems neuroscience of pain. The research is part theoretical, building realistic models of neuronal information processing to understand pain perception and behaviour, and part experimental, testing these theories using a range of methodologies, especially fMRI. His research aims to develop new technology-based therapies for treating pain in clinical populations. He is a Wellcome Senior Clinical Fellow at Oxford University, working jointly at the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging and the Oxford Institute for Biomedical Engineering, and a visiting researcher at ATR Labs (Kyoto). He is a Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute with an interest in safe AI control systems, and an honorary consultant neurologist at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust with an interest in behavioural homeostasis and sleep, pain, and fatigue neurology.
