The Brain and Cognition programme is concerned with cognition in the healthy brain and the nature of impairment in clinical populations. Our primary aim is to develop theoretical accounts of cognitive functions in the normal healthy brain and to consider how our research might further understanding of clinical conditions and rehabilitative strategies.

Primary areas of interest include memory storage and retrieval, object and face processing, language processing, intelligence and efficacy of biofeedback for clinical populations. We work with a range of populations including those with Alzheimer's disease, semantic dementia, herpes encephalitis, Parkinson's disease, traumatic brain injury and aphasia. Our research incorporates multiple convergent methodologies, including classic experimental cognitive approaches, EEG and fMRI.
