Virtural Reality Self Driving Car Research Project

February 2018 - June 2018 (5 months)

I designed and created an driving virtual reality simulation; in which users are either passengers in a car controlled by a human or an autonomous agent.0 The car is then faced with a morally salient dilemma. I used this simulation to run experiments investigating perceptions and preferences. This was with0 the supervision of Andreas Theodorou and in collaboration with Dr. Joanna0 Bryson.

Decoding Neural Correlates of Aphantasia - fMRI Research Project

December 2016 - May 2017 (6 months)

For my dissertation project, I investigated the neural correlates of the syndrome Aphantasia. This syndrome is characterised by a deficit in visual imagination. By using fMRI (a brain imaging technique) on participants with and without aphantasia I was able to gain insight into the syndrome. Brain imaging was conducted whilst they visually imagined and perceived images of famous places and famous faces. I then preprocessed, analysed the data using SPM8 and SPSS software, then interpreted the results.

This research was part of the wider project 'The Eye's Mind' ongoing at Exeter Medical School. http://medicine.exeter.ac.uk/research/healthresearch/ cognitive-neurology/theeyesmind/

Adaptive Impact of Sleep on Forgetting - Research Assistant

September 2016 - March 2017 (7 months)

This internship involved carrying out experiments on the effects of sleep on cognition. This was to investigate whether sleep can aid forgetting of irrelevant stimuli. It was achieved by investigating if a day time nap can remove a 'selective adaption' effect. This project was in collaboration with Stony Brook University in New York and supervised by Dr Nicolas Dumay.

Multisensory Beat Gesture Integration EEG - Research Assistant

June 2016 - August 2016 (3 months)

This internship was supervised by Olga Kusch and Salvador Soto-Faraco within the Multisensory Research Group. This ongoing research is to investigate how beat gestures impact speech comprehension of Catalan and English using EEG techniques. I was involved in preparing the stimuli, for example by adding triggers to the videos in preparation for the EEG.
