Alexandra Pike

I'm a Lecturer at the Department of Psychology at the University of York. I am interested in computational modelling (especially reinforcement learning), neuroimaging, and psychometrics. I have experience working in the fields of eating disorders and anxiety disorders.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, where I was part of the Neuroscience and Mental Health Group, working with Professor Oliver Robinson. I completed my DPhil at the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. During my DPhil, I worked on eating disorders and compulsivity, using a range of methods, including multimodal MRI, psychopharmacology, and computational modelling. My DPhil supervisors were Professor Philip Cowen and Professor Rebecca Park.

I have previously completed an MSc in Neuroscience and a BA in Psychology and Philosophy.
