Research

My current research interests are on the role of the prefrontal cortex for voluntary and goal directed actions, and prefrontal interactions with other brain systems. I use both MEG and fMRI, along with behavioural and neuropsychological data, to investigate healthy adults and patients with neurodegenerative diseases (such as Parkinson's disease and frontotemporal dementia) and patients with brain lesions (for example due to tumors or stroke). I collaborate with James Rowe and our aim is to understand the cortical networks of the intact brain and to assess changes related to disease.
