Morten Kringelbach is a Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and Aarhus University, where he directs the Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing. His research goals are focused on reverse-engineering the human brain to elucidate heuristics that enable survival and thriving. He particularly investigates hedonia (pleasure) and eudaimonia (the life well-lived), exploring their effects on health and disease, as well as elucidating the breakdown of anhedonia in neuropsychiatric disorders. His interdisciplinary team consists of philosophers, psychologists, musicians, artists, social scientists, physicists, biologists, anthropologists, and neuroscientists. They employ advanced analysis methods and multimodal behavioral stimuli to study emotional and cognitive states across various populations. His work includes using neuroimaging and behavioral tasks to understand parent-infant relationships and the impact of music on the brain, as well as the potential of psychedelics in treating treatment-resistant neuropsychiatric disorders.
