… is an Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham. He read Natural Sciences at Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1996) and obtained a DPhil in Neuroscience from the University of Oxford (2001). After post-doctoral appointments in neuroimaging labs in the USA (Steve Engel at UCLA and David Heeger at NYU), he joined the Visual Neuroscience Group / School of Psychology at The University of Nottingham as a RCUK Academic Fellow in 2006.
