Current research

I am currently working on a large-scale ESRC grant that examines fundamental and applied questions concerning emotion regulation I am working with Dr. Tom Farrow on the neuroimaging arm of the study, which will investigate:

• The neurophysiological substrates of ‘self’ and ‘other’ emotion regulation
• Differences between automatic and conscious emotion regulation.

We will be using fMRI and skin conductance measures to investigate these research questions. The results will contribute to the wider research network.

• The neurophysiological substrates of emotion regulation (and the interaction between neural and autonomic components).
• Differences between automatic and conscious emotion regulation.

Broader research interests

• Social and cognitive neuroscience
• The neurophysiological basis of social cognition, theory of mind, empathy, emotion processing, emotion regulation (primarily using fMRI)
• Using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to modulate brain function and cognitive function
• I am interested in studying these processes in health, as well as in psychiatric disorders.

Research Supervision

I am co-supervisor for:

• Isabelle Van Heeswijk (B.Med.Sci.; ongoing).

I have provided additional co-supervision for 6 phase 1b medical students.

Memberships

• Society for Social Neuroscience

Teaching

• Neuroimaging to postgraduate psychiatry trainees (for MRCPsych exam).

Selected publications
