Laurence Hunt

Laurence Hunt is an Associate Professor of Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow in Psychology at St John's College. He leads the Laboratory of Decision Dynamics, focusing on neural mechanisms underlying decision-making. His work integrates mathematical models with electrophysiological techniques in humans and animal models to study behavioral and neural data. Key roles include the Wellcome/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellowship and prior postdoctoral positions at UCL and Oxford's Department of Psychiatry.

Education: D.Phil in Neuroscience from the University of Oxford (2007-2011), pre-clinical Medicine at Cambridge University. Research emphasizes cognitive computational neuroscience, particularly how neural systems process value, uncertainty, and learning. Collaborators include notable figures like Matthew Rushworth and Christopher Summerfield.

Scientific Awards:

• Wellcome/Royal Society Sir Henry Dale Fellow

Advising & Grants: His research is supported by fellowships, though specific grants or advisees are not detailed. The Hunt Lab actively explores topics such as reward processing, decision dynamics, and neural geometry using advanced analytical methods.

Labs/Teams: Director of the Laboratory of Decision Dynamics, part of the Department of Experimental Psychology. Engaged in interdisciplinary collaborations across Oxford and international institutions.
