About

The goal of my research is to further understanding of the neurobiological and computational foundations of human cognitive systems. We use state-of-the-art methods in perceptual psychophysics, eye tracking, event-related potentials (ERPs), functional brain imaging (e.g., fMRI), brain stimulation techniques (e.g., TMS), computational modeling and neuropsychological studies of individuals with acquired cognitive impairments arising from strokes and degenerative illnesses such as Parkinson's disease (PD). We also work with machine vision and robotics collaborators on the development of biologically-inspired robotics and machine vision applications.

Our work has received funding from ESRC, BBSRC, EPSRC, British Academy, Royal Society, NHS (BCUHB), Welsh Assembly Government, British Psychological Society, Experimental Psychology Society & Welcome Trust.
