Who we are
Our research focuses on brain mechanisms involved in directing attention, retaining memories and driving motivation in healthy people and in patients with:
Vascular dementia, small vessel cerebrovascular disease and stroke
Memory and other cognitive symptoms
We work across the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences (NDCN), Department of Experimental Psychology (EP), Oxford Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging (OxCIN), and the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.
Our research is supported by grants from The Wellcome Trust and NIHR.
We are part of the Dementia Theme of the Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).
Our research themes
We study how human attention operates and becomes dysfunctional in people with inattention.
Our research examines the nature of short-term and working memory in health and disease
We probe brain mechanisms underpinning motivation and how these systems become dysfunctional in the syndrome of apathy
