Jamie Byrne completed her Clinical PhD looking at the interactions between circadian rhythms (body clock), sleep, and the reward system. Dr Byrne uses neuroimaging, physiological, behavioural, and psychological methods to interrogate how these three important (and interrelated) domains of functioning may be involved in the emergence of mental illnesses.

• Counselling
• Psychology

The BEAT study. Investigation of the neural mechanisms involved in circadian rhythms of momentary reward motivation

Mental health correlates of grit. A preliminary investigation of how the construct of grit relates to the risk and course of serious mental health disorders (schizophrenia and bipolar disorder).

COGSBD study. Examining the relationship between perception, cognition and emotion processing in bipolar disorder by adopting a variety of methods to probe their underlying cognitive, genetic and biological correlates through the use of neuroimaging, neuropsychological, clinical and genetic measures
