Associate Professor of Psychology, University of York
I lead the Emotion Processing and Offline Consolidation (EPOC) Lab at the University of York. Our research addresses the mechanisms through which sleep disturbances give rise to mental health problems, with a focus on neurobiological perspectives. We use a range of methods to do this, including behavioural studies, sleep electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Our findings have helped us to better understand what goes wrong in the brains of people who are not sleeping well, and how we can target these impairments to improve the prospects of people at risk of psychiatric disorders.
