My name is 'Santiago' and family names 'Castiello' and 'De Obeso'. I am a cognitive scientist interested in the applications of computational, learning, and intelligent models to psychopathological research. I become interested in psychopathology, particularly psychosis, while being part of the Cochrane Collaboration where I conducted epidemiological research within the Cochrane Schizophrenia group. During my Ph.D. I conducted research in the perceptual and learning correlates of schizotypy; and during my M.Sc. I used neural network models to predict economical behaviour in pigeons. My long undergraduate degree (almost 6 years) represents my indecisiveness between becoming and engineer or a psychologist. At the belief lab I work on the Divine Presence project funded by the Templeton Foundation.
