Positions

Research

My research uses wearable OPM-MEG to investigate brain activity in real-world, naturalistic settings. I develop novel scanning setups and analysis pipelines to extract high-level insights from complex neural datasets.

I am particularly interested in the neuroscience of social interaction and communication, and the role of synchronised neural oscillations during two-way exchanges. This involves scanning developing neurotypical participants as well as autistic participants, with the aim of understanding more about social interaction in neurodivergent populations.

Additionally, I am interested in the use of virtual and augmented reality in neuroscience research. During my postdoc at UCL we pioneered the use of OPM-MEG in combination with virtual reality to study the neural basis of autobiographical memory encoding.
