About our research
By examining how cognition is affected in neurological conditions such as epilepsy, stroke, and brain injury we hope to gain insights into both the nature of cognition in the healthy brain, and the manner in which the brain adapts to disruptions to its integrity.
As a group our interests span a range of cognitive functions, including language, memory, attention, processing speed and mood.
