The Sirigu Lab

Understanding how the brain transforms social information into behaviour.

Social cognition · Oxytocin · Action & awareness · Brain plasticity · Consciousness

Research across scales

From neurochemical systems and neural circuits to social behaviour and human cognition, the lab combines complementary approaches to understand the biological mechanisms that shape social interaction.

Social brain & oxytocin

Neural mechanisms regulating social cognition and behaviour.

EXPLORE → 03

Action & brain plasticity

Voluntary action, motor control and cortical reorganization after changes to the body.

EXPLORE → 04

Awareness, agency & consciousness

How intentions and actions become conscious experience — and how consciousness can be altered or restored.
