The Embodied Computation Group is a multidisciplinary research lab located at Aarhus University and Cambridge Psychiatry, led by Dr Micah Allen. Our research investigates how our decision-making, emotion, and conscious perception are shaped by visceral and embodied processes.
To probe the embodied brain, we use tools like computational modelling, psychophysics, physiological measures, and advanced neuroimaging. Our work comprises both basic research into the neural mechanisms underpinning visceral inference, and clinical research seeking to apply these mechanisms to better understand populations suffering from disordered brain-body interaction and mental illness.
Our work is supported by an extensive network of international collaborations, as well as generous support from the Lundbeck Foundation, Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, and Cambridge Psychiatry.
