Spierer Research Group
Laboratory for Neurorehabilitation Science
We are a clinical neuroscience lab investigating how cognitive training reshapes brain function and behaviour. Our research combines neuroimaging, computational modelling, and large-scale app-based clinical trials to understand training-induced plasticity and translate it into digital interventions that improve health outcomes.
Our current programme is organised around three integrated lines: the affective learning mechanisms that shape individual responses to reward-related cues, the response training interventions that can modify those responses, and the digital behavioural biomarkers that allow us to measure them objectively from a smartphone.
We translate our findings into application through BeweLab SA, our award-winning university spin-off, and are committed to open science: all confirmatory studies follow the Registered Report format with publicly available data and code.
