Research strengths
We study the psychological bases of memory, perception, language, development and social relationships. Our research covers a wide range of populations including children and adults, individuals with developmental and neuropsychological disorders, and non-human primates.
Our research makes a powerful difference to families with children living with developmental and neuropsychological disorders, as well as adults with similar conditions. We work in a range of settings and take our research into parts of the community where it has the greatest impact, working closely with caregivers, educators, law enforcement, healthcare professionals, and policy-makers.
Our researchers are supported by excellent research facilities which allow us to use cutting-edge experimental methods, including eye tracking, electromyography (EMG), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), functional MRI (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We also have state-of-the-art laboratories for developmental, sensory, virtual reality and sleep research.
