Personal profile

Overview

My group's research focuses on how we create and process memories. We examine the neural mechanisms and cognitive processes involved in adaptive memory formation and neuromodulation, identifiy and model spontaneuous memory reactivation, and track changes to memory systems during ageing. 

We use a combination of behavioural tasks, virtual reality, neuroimaging, physiological signal processing, and computational modelling to address questions in human memory.
