Personal Profile:

I am an expert in neuroscientific and statistical methods and data analysis, having originally
moved from linguistics into cognitive neuroscience. I have a wide-ranging experience working
with M/EEG in areas from language to visual and auditory processing, attention to sleep.
Throughout these different research topics my interest increasingly focussed on methodological
rigour and innovation. I am particularly enthusiastic about new challenges and finding novel
solutions to outstanding problems, and am always keen to push the state of the art forward in
all parts of the neuroscientific research process, from noise reduction to signal processing,
source localization, connectivity, to machine learning
