Profile
I am a current PhD student supervised by Dr David Souto and Dr Doug Barrett. My research focuses on evaluating the informational value of eye movements in inferring attentional states. My work is funded by the BBSRC through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP). Before starting my PhD, I completed an undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Exeter, where I investigated the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on face recognition and perceptual learning. I then pursued a master’s degree in Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London, using EEG and eye-tracking methods to explore moment-to-moment changes in sustained attention.
