Dr Jo Cutler is a Wellcome Trust Early Career Research Fellow in the Centre for Human Brain Health at the University of Birmingham. Before this, she was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Social Decision Neuroscience Lab with Professor Patricia Lockwood at the University of Oxford then the University of Birmingham.
Jo obtained her Psychology PhD in the Social Decision Lab at the University of Sussex, with research focused on charitable giving and why people value the lives of others. She also holds an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Sussex and studied undergraduate Psychology at the University of Leeds and the University of Sydney.
Jo is interested in how we make choices to help other people and then learn about our actions that help. Her research also investigates whether people are interested in what is happening to others, how these social decisions change across the lifespan, and their neural mechanisms. To answer these questions, Jo uses tools from psychology and neuroscience including fMRI, computational neurology, large international datasets, novel tasks, and computational modelling.
