Research Interests
Adaptive Memory Formation
How do we prioritise what to remember? We investigate mechanisms by which salience, novelty, and neuromodulation influence memory encoding. Our work examines how these processes support the selection and stabilisation of memories.
Memory Reactivation
The spontaneous replay of past experiences plays a critical role in memory consolidation and adaptive behaviour. We examine when and why this occurs, and how it may support flexible cognition and insight.
Memory Across the Lifespan
How do some people resist the typical age-related decline in memory? We examine the neural and cognitive factors underlying age-related memory changes, and resilience to such changes in superagers.
Methods
We use a multimodal approach to investigate memory, combining naturalistic paradigms with state-of-the-art neuroimaging and physiological measures.
