BIOGRAPHY
I completed my PhD at Goldsmiths, University in London in 2008, having also obtained my BSc and MSc at the same institution. I then completed an 18-month post-doc at the University of Oxford followed by 3 years at Université Paris Descartes before joining the Department of Psychology, University of Essex in September 2012.
RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Action is fundamental to human behaviour and sensory experience. The main aim of my research is to better understand the mechanisms that allow us to be aware of our actions and the effects that they have on the environment. This includes investigating phenomena such as intentional binding and sensory attenuation, as well as studying the neural correlates of action selection and error monitoring. My other research interests include predictive coding, consciousness, attention, reward, and motivation.
