Matt Davidson, PhD

Research Fields:

I am a cognitive neuroscientist, with a broad interest in how moment-to-moment changes in brain activity influence our stream of consciousness.

To tackle this problem, I use a range of techniques. 

I primarily test people's behaviour and perception while also measuring electrical activity on the scalp.  This is done using electroencephalography (EEG), to record brain activity with sub-millisecond precision, and over a wide range of frequencies.

Currently, I'm an Associate lecturer / postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney, where I'm investigating perception during natural movement (walking) in immersive virtual reality (VR).
