Four CBU scientists will receive additional funding under a new scheme launched to mark the upcoming MRC Centenary in 2013. Richard Meiser-Stedman, an MRC funded Clinician Scientist Fellow based at the Unit, will use his award to further his work on understanding the nature of PTSD and developing early stage treatments; Michael Ewbank, a CBU post-doctoral scientist, will investigate understanding the functional architecture of face processing in humans using transcranial direct current stimulation; Elisabeth von dem Hagen, also a CBU post-doc, will research linking gaze behaviour in a real social interaction with the cortical response to eye gaze; and Ediz Sohoglu, a completing PhD student, will investigate brain connectivity underlying successful perception of degraded speech. All four awards are made under the MRC Centenary Early Career award scheme and CBU is delighted to support these four excellent research projects.
