Docteur en neuroscience
Within the Emotion Group at the Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, my programme of work focuses mainly on Executive Control and Emotional Meanings in Cognitive and Neural systems. Current work is organised under three project headings:
[a] Core Theoretical work on Interacting Cognitive Subsystems - a macro-theory of mental architecture. Modelling addresses issues in attention, memory and psychopathology as well as the evolution and processing of meaning.
[b] Schematic models (of self, others and world) and executive mode (how they are processed) – covers experiments on memory and attention in both healthy participants and those with psychopathology (including anxiety, depression, mania and schizophrenia).
[c] Brain networks underlying affective representations and executive control in healthy participants, patients with frontal lesions and dementia. This project is collecting data from patient groups
A proposed technical mechanism for the evolution of mental and neural architecture. From Barnard, Duke, Byrne & Davidson (2007). Differentiation in cognitive and emotional meanings: an evolutionary analysis, Cognition & Emotion, in press. A single subsystem (top left) evolves into two interacting subsystems (bottom right).
