Research Interests

Richard investigates where and how the human brain stores and flexibly uses our knowledge of people, objects, and words. To do so, he employs a multi-method approach that includes behavioural measures (e.g., accuracy and reaction times), brain imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation.  Further, his research seeks to advance our understanding of language and behavioural impairments that result from brain injury and dementia, and develop new tools for diagnostics and behavioural interventions.

Postgraduate Project Opportunities

Self-funded (inc. agency-funded) projects:

Richard welcomes informal enquiries from prospective PhD students interested in projects related to semantic cognition, social cognition, cognitive communication impairment, and/or brain anatomy and connectivity. Please submit a draft research proposal (1-2 pages) to the above email address.

Competitive scholarship opportunities available: 

None
