I work at Sam Hughes Pain Lab in Exeter (ExPain). My research covers an array of mechanism-based approaches to study and treat pain, including functional neuroimaging, phycophysics, behavioural testing, and interviews. Most recently, my work focuses on the use of virtual reality to treat acute and chronic pain.

I’m a second year medical student interested in research in AI in Medicine. I would like to join the network group to meet researchers in this area and have opportunities to be involved in the research.

Individually my research covers the perception of effort and how it is affected by the pain experience on a psychophysiological level.
Linked to that, I then explore the behavioural and cognitive changes in self-regulation due to pain.
As a group, we explore the use of virtual reality and eye-tracking with their ability to enhance performance across sport, military, aviation, and clinical settings.
As a new member of my team, the aim is to bridge the pain research and eye-tracking/virtual reality research already underway.

I study the spinal and supraspinal neural control of dynamic movements, and the impact of pain, stress or anxiety, and musculoskeletal or neurological disorders on this control. To do this I use techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, surface electromyography (including high-density arrays), intramuscular electromyography, peripheral nerve stimulation and motion capture.
