About me
I am completing a PhD in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh within the Silson Lab. My research interests include investigating visual perception and memory using psychophysics, fMRI, TMS, and EEG.
I am interested in the functional organisation of the visual representations and how perception & memory interact in relation to retinotopic organisation and category selectivity.
Currently I am exploring hemispheric asymmetries in object processing and the neural mechanisms underpinning individual differences in mental imagery, including aphantasia.
I am supervised by Dr Edward Silson & Professor Rob McIntosh.
