معرفی
Mads Lund Pedersen is a Researcher at the University of Oslo (UiO) and Norment, affiliated with the Department of Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience. His academic background includes a Dr.philos. (PhD) in Cognitive Neuroscience from UiO (2017) and a Master's in Cognitive Neuroscience (2012). He has held postdoctoral positions at UiO (2017–2020) and was a visiting scholar at Brown University’s Laboratory of Neural Computation and Cognition (2017–2019).
His research focuses on computational modeling of decision-making processes in psychiatric and neurological disorders, particularly using reinforcement learning and drift-diffusion models. Key interests include understanding reward sensitivity in addiction, cognitive control mechanisms in adolescence, and the neural basis of psychiatric conditions like depression and psychosis.
Collaborations include institutions such as Brown University, Washington University in St. Louis, Harvard Medical School, and the Central Institute of Mental Health in Mannheim. His work integrates neuroimaging, computational models, and genetic data to explore mental health biomarkers and comorbidity mechanisms.
Recent projects include longitudinal studies of brain structure in psychosis, normative cognitive trajectories in youth, and the impact of interventions like attention bias modification. Pedersen’s contributions span over 30 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Biological Psychiatry, NeuroImage, and Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience.
