Overview

My PhD research focusses on tactile processing and sensory sensitivity. Using MEG, I hope to understand how subjective responses to tactile stimulation (for example, how pleasant or unpleasant a person finds a material to be) relate to neural markers, and how this may vary depending on levels of neurodivergent traits and mental health symptomology. My earlier PhD work focussed on exploring associations between mental imagery, sensory sensitivity, and autistic traits.
