معرفی
Miriam Klein-Flugge is an Associate Professor at the University of Oxford, holding joint appointments in the Departments of Psychiatry and Experimental Psychology. She is a Wellcome Trust/Royal Society Henry Dale Fellow and UKRI/ERC Starting Grant Fellow, leading the Motivation, Decision and Neurostimulation (Modes) Lab. Her research focuses on decision-making processes, emotion, motivation, and the neural mechanisms underlying flexible behavior, with particular emphasis on subcortical brain regions and mental health applications.
Dr. Klein-Flugge uses advanced techniques such as fMRI, MEG, EEG, transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS), and computational modeling to study how the brain adapts decisions to internal and external conditions. Her work explores topics like effort-based choices, context-dependent decisions, and the impact of mental illness on decision-making. She also investigates the structural and functional roles of subcortical nuclei in stress and reward processing.
Her educational background includes a Mathematics, Computer Science, and Cognitive Science degree from the University of Osnabrück and McGill University, an MSc in Neuroscience from Oxford, and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCL. She completed postdoctoral research as a Henry Wellcome Fellow in Matthew Rushworth’s lab at Oxford.
Dr. Klein-Flugge has received funding from the Wellcome Trust, ERC/UKRI, and the MRC. Her awards include prestigious fellowships supporting her innovative research. She is actively involved in public outreach, including live MRI school lessons to engage youth in neuroscience.
