  • Julio Acosta-Cabronero Dr Julio Acosta-Cabronero
    In developing novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods of acquisition and analysis to elucidate the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in very early dementia.
  • Richard Adams Dr Richard Adams
    My group is interested in the mechanisms of morphogenesis that shape the early central nervous system. Using zebrafish as a developmental model, we image the movements of many hundreds of cells using time-lapse micoscopy. Applying methods of image...
  • Franklin  Aigbirhio Dr Franklin Aigbirhio
    Research in the development and application of molecular imaging probes, in particular for the in vivo imaging technique of positron emission tomography. Objectives are to design, develop and apply imaging probes that are specific and selective to...
  • Mike Aitken Dr Mike Aitken
    My research interests include human associative learning, and the role of this learning in intuitive and reflective decision-making systems. Much of my research has involved causal and categorical judgments, with more recent work looking at mechan...
  • José Ignacio Alcántara Dr José Ignacio Alcántara
    I am a founding member of the Laboratory for Autism Research (LaRA) and co-investigator in the Laboratory of Auditory Perception. My research interests include the mechanisms underlying the psychoacoustic abilities of normal and hearing-impaired ...
  • Michael Anderson Dr Michael Anderson
    Dr. Anderson focuses on fundamental mechanisms of memory, attention, and cognitive control, and their interaction. A central observation is that memory, like other aspects of cognition and behaviour, poses problems of control. Dr. Anderson uses ...
  • Richard Ansorge Dr Richard Ansorge
    My current interests include hardware and software development for various medical imaging modalities, especially PET and MRI. This work is done in close collaboration with the Wolfson Brain Imaging Centre. One particular current project is the d...
  • Dr John Apergis-Schoute
    The psychological link between appetite and emotions is clear. Often enough food consumption is powerfully influenced by emotional cues that are unrelated to energy requirements. As the amygdala and hypothalamus, two neural regions that code for a...
  • Duncan  Astle Dr Duncan Astle
    My research uses EEG and MEG with children and adults to explore the neural and cognitive mechanisms of top-down attentional control. In particular, I am interested in how these control mechanisms interact with our ability to store information in ...
  • Topun Austin Dr Topun Austin
    Brain injury in the newborn is a major cause of death and lifelong neurodisability placing an enormous burden on patients, their families and wider society. My research interests are in the development of systems to identify vulnerable infants at...
  • Bonnie Auyeung Dr Bonnie Auyeung CPsychol
    Bonnie Auyeung is a researcher at the University's Autism Research Centre, where her primary research examines the effects of prenatal hormones on psychological and neural postnatal development.
