Adam Linson

Adam Linson is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computing & Communications at the Open University (UK). He is also Co-Director of the Innogen Institute (connecting life science innovation and policymaking), based jointly at the Open University and the University of Edinburgh. He develops neurobehavioural models of how perceptual uncertainty is resolved under stress and time pressure, in relation to impaired or enhanced cognitive flexibility. His research focus is Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which he studies using multiple methods that connect theoretical neurobiology, psychiatry, evolutionary ecology, and the history and philosophy of science. His work also links to other fields including cognitive science and music psychology. He was previously an Anniversary Fellow in Computing and Philosophy at the University of Stirling, a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and a Visiting Fellow at the University of Oxford, the UCL Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging, and the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Evolution and Cognition Research (KLI, Austria).
