Dr Robin Green

I studied by BSc Psychology and MSc Human Neuroscience in Royal Holloway University of London. I studied my PhD in cognitive neuropsychology in the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Dr Carmel Mevorach and the late Professor Glyn Humphreys.  After working as an instructor in Birmingham, I arrived in Leicester in 2014 as a Teaching Assistant, then became Teaching Fellow in 2016 and took up the lectureship in 2018.

My research interests are quite broad and encompass the following which I would be happy to supervise topics on:

• Cognitive neuropsychology of visual attention and cognitive control (cognitive flexibility and adaptability) and its influences.
• Neurostimulation of visual cognition using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (tES: tDCS, tACS, tRNS).
• Individual differences in cognitive abilities covering: perception, memory, numerical cognition, attention, and executive control in special populations such as bilinguals, gamers, patients.
• Computer game training and cognition.
• Cognitive and attentional control, memory and perception of those with subclinical tendencies of dyslexia, Autistic Spectrum and dyscalculia or psychosis/schizotypal in neurotypical populations.
• Coaching psychology.
• Pedagogical research in teaching large around assessment and feedback, group work.
