Available PhD projects
Potential PhD projects are available in our three stated research areas above. All projects use a mixture of behavioural measures, eyetracking, high-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging, neurostimulation, and computational modelling. Projects can include typically developed populations and/or clinical populations. In our clinical research, we focus currently on developmental dyslexia and prosopagnosia.
