Carole's research aims to validate novel indicators of animal affective states. She is particularly interested in testing the hypothesis that elevated waking inactivity in animals can indicate failures to adapt to welfare-challenging environments, and particularly depression-like states. She also aims to promote positive changes in practices in order to raise standards of welfare for non-human animals (e.g. laboratory and farmed rodents).
