Our neuroimaging capacity is centred on a research-dedicated 3T Philips MRI scanner, housed within the School of Psychology. This facility is supported by a School-funded MR physicist and image analyst. Our neuroimaging research group, comprising >20 staff, postdocs, and PhD students, meets weekly to review recent literature and to discuss proposed projects and results. The group includes specialists in: patient studies and lesion reconstruction; high-level vision; working memory; attention; ageing; eye movements; neuropsychiatry; and spectroscopy.
