The effects of bi/multilingualism on brain structure and function
Increasing evidence suggests that speaking two or more languages has particular effects on the brain. Read more
Understanding reward processing in adolescent depression
In our research group NRG-lab.co.uk we are interested in the symptoms of depression in adolescents. We are interested in how to best measure symptoms of anhedonia and how we can possibly develop new treatments for it by examining reward function. Read more
Intertemporal Processes in Neurocognitive Development
Join a programme of work that aims to build conceptual and empirical bridges between the physiological, psychological, and cultural influences on human adolescent development. Read more
Psychological intervention, cognitive training, functional rehabilitation and well-being in clinical populations with brain degeneration
The concept of human well-being is a fundamental aspect of our existence and is often particularly vulnerable upon diagnosis and/or progression of long-term neurological conditions for which there is no cure, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s disease. Read more
Perception, attention and decision-making in autism and dyslexia
Atypical responses to sensory information have been reported in almost all developmental conditions, including autism and dyslexia. Read more
Integrating information from vision and touch in virtual reality telepresence systems
Virtual reality systems are fundamentally altering how we study human sensory perception. Similarly, to build good virtual reality systems we need a clear understanding of how the brain integrates sensory information into a robust and useful percept. Read more
How observers could represent a 3D space
Currently, we have very little idea about how the human brain represents 3D space. This is a particularly difficult problem when you consider how much the retinal image changes as people move their head and eyes. Read more
Investigating face perception in developmental prosopagnosia
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a neurodevelopmental condition associated with impairments recognising familiar faces and discriminating between unfamiliar faces. Read more
Moving together in time: the effects of coordinated movements on physical performance, social cognition and overall wellbeing
Our Social Cognition and Movement Rehabilitation Lab (SCMR) investigates various topics on the role of non˗verbal behaviours in everyday conversations, social-cognitive effects of interpersonal synchrony (two or more individuals moving together in time) and explores movement interventions (e.g. Read more
Auditory cognition and human factors
Expressions of interest are invited on any topics related to either auditory cognition and working memory or to human factors as they relate to energy conservation and climate change. Read more
Bilingual Language Processing: Investigating the similarities and differences between native and non-native sentence comprehension
A considerable literature has investigated whether non-native speakers of a language process their non-native language in the same way as native speakers. Read more
Music and language processing in autism and amusia
Music and language are fundamental traits of human existence. They both rely on complex sound sequences to convey meaning. It has been hotly debated whether the two are processed through distinct cognitive modules or using shared mechanisms. Read more
