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.

Currently, I am a trial manager on a UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship Project, where I am responsible for planning and running EEG-based BCI research trials – which primarily includes trials with patients who have prolonged disorders of consciousness and/or physical impairments resulting from injury or disease. My main area of research has a focus on brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies.

My background is in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation, neuroimaging and somatosensory psychophysics to explore sensory processing in health and disease. I am a more recent convert to using these techniques to explore how best to modulate chronic and neuropathic pain.
