Sharon Abrahams Senior Lecturer Neuropsychology and neuroimaging in motor neurone disease and frontotemporal dementia, memory dysfunction associated with hippocampal damage. Y Thomas Bak Senior Lecturer Relationship between language, cognition and motor function; dissociation between the processing of nouns/objects & verbs/actions, crosscultural and crosslinguistic aspects of cognitive evaluation, cognitive & linguistic symptoms in neurodegenerative diseases (Motor Neuron Disease/MND, Corticobasal Degeneration/CBD, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy/PSP, Primary Progressive Aphasia, ALS/Parkinsonism/Dementia Complex of Guam). Y Louise Brown Teaching Fellow I am interested in visuo-spatial working memory and attention mechanisms in both younger and older adults. Y Jennifer Foley Teaching Fellow I am interested in attention and memory, and how they change through ageing and disease. Currently, I am helping to develop a new test of dual-tasking ability, which we hope will help in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Y Sergio Della Sala Professor Interests in cognitive neuropsychology, in particular in amnesia, visuo-spatial and representational neglect, apraxia and the cognitive deficits of Alzheimer's Disease. Y Alison Lenton Lecturer Social-Cognitive Psychology My major research interests lie at the intersection of social and cognitive psychology. In particular, my research focuses on social judgement and decision making and includes experiments investigating: (a) how judgements of sexual intent are made, and (b) the effects of the choice context (number and variety of options) on early mate choice. Y Robert Logie Professor Human memory, especially working memory in the healthy and damaged brain. Y Graham Mackenzie Teaching Fellow Memory and face processing. Y Sarah MacPherson Lecturer Frontal lobe functions such as memory, executive abilities and social cognition in healthy ageing and damaged brains. Y Margaret McGonigle Senior Lecturer Developmental cognition, executive functioning in childhood autism and Fragile X syndrome, cognitive neuroscience Y Rob McIntosh Senior Lecturer I am interested in the neural control of visual perception and visually-guided action in humans. One major strategy is to study people that have developed deficits in these abilities following brain damage. I also have a long-standing interest in unilateral neglect and its rehabilitation. These neuropsychological investigations are complemented by research into the control of simple goal-directed actions in neurologically normal people. Y Alexa Morcom RCUK Fellow The main focus of my research is on human memory: how we form new memories and later retrieve them, and how memory changes as we age. I combine behavioural methods with the techniques of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencepalographic event-related potentials (EEG/ ERPs). Measuring people’s brain activity while they carry out particular kinds of memory-related processing enables us to understand better both its neural underpinnings and the processing itself. Y Antje Nuthmann Lecturer Visual cognition with a focus on real-world scene perception, visual attention, and eye-movement control; eye-movement control in reading; bridging the gap to basic oculomotor research. I use experimental, corpus-analytical, and computational techniques. Y Julia Simner Reader My research is in the area of language comprehension and production, both in the population at large, and in the inherited condition known as synaesthesia. In the general population, I examine the planning of causes and consequences in speech and writing; the impact of local incoherence in reading and the comprehension of pronouns and other referring expressions. My research in synaesthesia focuses again on linguistic issues.
