Dr C Ashwin
Applications accepted all year round
About the Project
The goal of this project is to explore neural, behavioural, and cognitive mechanisms involved in social cognition (e.g. faces, emotional expressions, eye gaze, intentionality, and theory of mind), and how these may differ in people with various psychiatric conditions including autism and anxiety.

Funding Notes
Dr Ashwin will now consider applications for Entry 2013 from those applicants who are happy to compete for University and Graduate School funding or obtain external funding. Funding is difficult to obtain and highly competitive. You are responsible for researching sources of funding early (in some cases up to 12 months in advance) and applying (in conjunction with your agreed supervisor) for as many as possible. Please see the webpages at http://www.bath.ac.uk/hss/graduate-school/pgr-scholarships-studentships.html for further details.
