Title of PhD: Language and the cerebellum
Supervisor: Professor Chris Miall
My research interests are the neural underpinnings of language and higher cognitive abilities in humans. My research thus far focuses on the role of the cerebellum in language and cognition. Methods I use to investigate these questions are fMRI, TMS and eye-tracking methods, as well as a variety of behavioural measures.
