Research Overview

Research Interests

My research interests are in examining the neurocognitive factors underlying aberrant experiences such as perceptual distortions, hallucinations, distortions in multisensory integration. and disorders of consciousness. I examine these experiences in neurtypical samples as well as some patient groups (migraine with aura). My investigations utilise a variety of methodologies including computer-modelled / optimised multi-channel transcranial direct-current stimulation (MtDCS) brain stimulation, electrodermal activity (psychophysiology: skin conductance responses) and psychological responses. My laboratory team and I have also been involved in developing new tools and approaches for studying aberrant / anomalous experiences in neruotypical populations.
