Research Theme

Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience

Interests

My primary research is in the area of memory disorders. I am interested in the clinical and neural correlates of autobiographical memory, and ways in which this may be improved by using cognitive prostheses.

I am also researching into the Neuropsychology of Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

My other main field of interest is paradoxical functional facilitation, and related anomalous phenomena in clinical neuroscience.
