Get in touch if you want to do a PhD with me!
Potential projects include (but not limited to):
- Individual differences in brain plasticity (in blindness and deafness)
- Cognitive and motor representations of actions (in people born without hands)

Today I will be teaching my undergrad course "How to build a brain from scratch" for the 2nd year running. I've put the materials online - include a document with all lecture slides and notes, which is about as long as a decent novel. Enjoy! humaninformationprocessing.c…

This has implications for #lipreading and #speechreading if used. The mouth patterns look very different to my untrained eye in the synthesised videos, yet I wonder if a trained lipreader would pick up the differences, what do you think @ATLAUK?

My work with @brody_lab involved developing an analytical solution to both the forwards and backwards pass distributions of a drift-diffusion-advection (linear feedback) model for pulse-based evidence. I've posted all the code on github, hope its useful!
