Personal profile
Research Interests
Research and teaching interests lie in the cognition of human memory in the healthy, ageing, and damaged brain, focused on experimental behavioural studies of working memory. The approach is both theoretical and applied, with projects ranging from developing cognitive theories of working memory in the healthy brain through attention and memory deficits associated with focal brain damage and with neurodegeneration through age or brain pathology, to design of computerized patient monitoring for medical decision support in intensive care and the interaction between human and digital information storage.
