Research areas

I came to the CBU in October 2004 and recently completed a PhD under the supervision of Rhodri Cusack. My work focuses on visual short-term memory, perception and attention, including the neural substrates underlying these processes, the relationships between them, and the capacity limits within which they operate. These issues are being explored using a combination of fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), MEG (magnetoencephalography) and behavioural studies in healthy adults and aging populations.
