My main research interest is how our brains use sensory information to represent the world around us, and how these processes change throughout the lifespan. I combine neuro-imaging techniques such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Magnetoencephalography (MEG), and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) with cutting-edge computational approaches to study neural mechanisms underlying visual, auditory and audio-visual processing. My current work in the laboratory of Prof James Rowe focusses on how neural signatures of perception and cognition (measured with MEG and EEG) can be used as biomarkers of synaptic health in Alzheimer’s Disease, and how they relate to other measures of cognitive functioning and brain health.
