Research and consultancy
Research interests
Together with Prof Mike Nicholls I am investigating the neural mechanisms that control spatial attention in the healthy brain, and how these mechanisms are altered after brain damage. The long-term goal of my research is to develop effective treatments of attentional disorders such as spatial neglect.
