Currently I’m a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor equivalent) at Queen Mary, University of London, although I’m also a visiting research scientist at Cambridge University, where I’m a Principal Investigator (PI) in the Cambridge Consciousness and Cognition Lab.
The two main research areas of my lab are dementia, where in particular we study the neural basis of resilience to dementia symptoms, as well as using novel brain-scanning methods to boost early dementia diagnosis. In addition we explore information based neural markers to explore the brain-basis of consciousness. We tend to use information theory tools in order to explore both of these questions.
Previously I’ve researched a wide range of cognitive topics (working memory, attention, IQ, etc.) on normal and patient populations.
Below is a list of my peer-reviewed academic articles and book chapters reflecting all of the above interests, with direct article downloads where available. For citation data, up to date h-index stats and so on you might also wish to visit my Google Scholar profile here.
