The Dymond Lab at Swansea University is home to the followng labs and centres:

1. The Experimental Psychopathology Lab.

The Experimental Psychopathology Lab investigates human learning and emotion systems underpinning adaptive behaviour. A psychophysiology and cognitive neuroscience perspective is adopted in which the underlying neurobehavioural mechanisms of clinically relevant behaviours are identified. We design tasks to examine learning, generalisation, and extinction of fear and avoidance, amongst other topics, in healthy and patient populations.

2. The GREAT Centre and MilGAM

The Gambling Research, Education, and Treatment (GREAT) Centre and Centre for Military Gambling Research (MilGAM) aim to drive research, education, and treatment for all forms of gambling-related harm in individuals, families, and communities. A translational perspective is adopted in which gambling harms fall along a continuum. Part of what we do involves identifying those with heightened vulnerablility to harm, such as military veterans, and capturing their harm pathways to better design and evaluate evidence-based treatment and intervention.
