Overview

I do work on behavioural asymmetries like handedness, footedness and sighting dominance, and how these relate to asymmetries in the brain for language and face processing. I trained as a clinical neuropsychologist and have done research on vision, apraxia, visually-guided reaching and asymmetry.
