Research groups
The Behavioural Neuroendocrinology Lab aims to better understand the role of the hypothalamus and its hormones in maintaining health and well-being.
Researchers at the BodIS Lab are interested in the interconnectedness of human bodies, identities, and social structures, and study psychological phenomena that arise at the intersection of these life domains.
Understanding the dynamics of brain-cogniton relationships.
Can neuroscience help us understand the mechanisms, development, and treatment of mental illness and cognitive impairment in individual patients?
The main aim of the group is to capture the variation and course of cognitive functioning in psychotic disorders and to identify mechanisms underlying cognitive dysfunction and cognitive heterogeneity.
Complexity in treatment Outcome, Psychopathology and Epidemiology (COPE) is a research group at the University of Oslo studying the dynamics interwoven with the emergence and maintenance of psychological disorders and the optimization of psychological treatment. The research team is further engaged with the epidemiological modeling of preventive health behavior and mental health during pandemics.
Understanding human behavior across different contexts through cultural and social psychological perspectives, and the political sciences more broadly.
This work package aims to comprehensively explore depression by integrating various perspectives and by use of a mix of methods to identify change indicators.
Depressive disorders are common, costly, and accompanied by considerable morbidity and mortality. As less than half of those treated are commonly classified as responders, there is substantial need for improving delivery of care and associated response rates in treatment.
By understanding the underlying mechanisms causing depression, we can classify and treat depression with greater precision.
Which social and cultural drivers exist in depression, and how do they affect our understanding of the phenomenon that is depression? How do they contribute to the increase in symptoms of depression?
The development of depression in a changing world - societal and individual perspectives.
L.A.B. lab is dedicated to the study of one of the world’s great mysteries: how the brain and body give rise to subjective feelings.
In order to characterize the dynamic mechanisms of mental disorders across the lifespan, we utilize various brain imaging modalities and approaches, with a particular emphasis on combining measures of structural and functional connectivity with genetics.
Our goal is to understand the neural mechanisms that underlie cognitive control, their changes across the lifespan and in mental disease, and how we can promote their functioning.
A cross-disciplinary research collaboration on early language acquisition, communication, and learning at UiO and NTNU.
Sexuality is an important aspect of who we are as human beings throughout our lives. Our sexuality can be a source of joy and affirmation, but also a source of sorrow and despair.
Researcher at CENSE––Norwegian Research Centre for Sexual Health are interested in studying sexuality in the broadest sense, exploring both the positive and negative aspects of sexual lives.
The Personality Assessment Lab (PAL) brings together a team of researchers interested in psychometrics, theory, and practical utility of assessment methods for personality and psychopathology.
PRocess and OUtcome of eating Disorder (PROUD) is a research group that study eating disorder. Our goal is to understand what causes and maintain eating disorders, what kind of treatment that is most effective – especially for vulnerable groups – prevalence and treatment outcome in a long-term perspective
The RUN investigates the underpinnings of cognitive impairments in severe mental disorders, how cognition predicts functioning and prognosis, and how cognitive impairments can be treated in people with severe mental disorders.
We study how people, groups and cultures feel and think about each other, influence each other and interact with each other. Social psychology is a field of thriving basic research and many applications.
The members of the POET research group collaborate on in-depth, interpretive studies of psychotherapy as a process of change over time. The focus of the research group is to study the clinical activities of experienced therapists, and through this contribute to knowledge and understanding of change processes in psychotherapy.
We use an interdisciplinary approach for investigations in the field of Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience. Our investigations include research perspectives and experimental approaches from Psychology, Neuroscience, Biology, Medicine and Computational Sciences.
The Endestad Brain Imaging Group (EBIG) supports research exploring the study of the mind and the biological basis of behavior and mental function.
