Favourite Thing: Doing things no-one has done before whether it is devising new experiments or spotting patterns no-one has noticed. Best of all is coming up with new ideas that predict what will happen in future experiments and help to explain how the brain works. If the predictions turn out to be true, it’s incredibly satisfying!
What I do: I investigate how the brain senses, understands, learns, remembers, thinks, and controls our actions and I teach university students about these topics.
