Dr Aidan Horner, a former PhD student of the CBU, was recently awarded the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) Frith Prize for 2013, which is given for outstanding PhD research.

Aidan, now at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, UCL, said: “I am honored and humbled. I have always admired the EPS, a society that sparked my interest in experimental psychology”.

His former supervisor, Rik Henson, said “I am delighted for Aidan, who was truly an exceptional student”.

Aidan will be giving a prize lecture at the Lancaster meeting of the EPS in April.
