Our work focuses on the nature of thought, consciousness and cognition. We examine brain structure and operation, specifically of neuronal and cortical mechanisms, to determine and model the underlying physiological process of perception, decision making and language.
Oxford Computational Neuroscience
We use implanted electrical stimulators that act on the nervous system to treat a wide range of conditions including Parkinson's disease and severe chronic pain. Our research focuses on improving these treatments and adapting them to treat new clinical problems.
