About
My basic interest is understanding the neural basis of conscious perception. My current research seeks to uncover how visual perception is modulated by attention and memory, through use of behavioural psychophysics, brain imaging (fMRI), neurophysiology, neuropsychology and disruptive techniques (transcranial magnetic stimulation and neuropharmacological inactivation).
I'm funded by a Wellcome-NIH 4 year PhD studentship, working in Dr David Leopold's Section on Cognitive Neurophysiology and Imaging at NIH (Bethesda, USA) and Dr Andrew Welchman's Binolcular Vision lab at the University of Birmingham (UK).
I previously studied the psychopharmacology of anxiety (BSc, University of Leeds) and more recently the application of brain imaging techniques in cognitive neuroscience (MRes, University of Birmingham).
