I specialize primarily on postgraduate teaching in:

• Systems and Cognitive Neuroscience
• Neuroimaging
• Applied Neuroscience
• Motor learning and Control
• Memory

I am organizer of the MSc module "Clinical and Applied Neuroscience - Theory" https://www.bangor.ac.uk/psychology/postgraduate-modules/PPP-4026

Currently, I supervise dissertation projects at both the Bachelor's, Master's and PhD level.

Motor skill learning and memory; sequencing and timing; cortical and subcortical motor control; fMRI; TMS; EEG/MEG; electrophysiology; multivariate pattern analysis
