PhD candidate (Cognitive Neuroscience/ Neuroengineering), The University of Queensland I work on a number of projects using behavioural and physiological measures as well as measures of neural activity (EEG, fNIRS). Some of my recent projects include: BCI: Developing a fast and flexible frequency tagging based brain computer interface spelling device using a high accuracy classifier to distinguish between 40 frequencies. Joint Action: Investigating how the brain coordinates joint actions from the perspective of visual attention and testing the neural synchrony hypothesis. Approach and Avoidance: Investigating whether differing behavioural goals effect the allocation of selective attention to behaviourally relevant objects in dynamic interactive environments. Working Memory: Investigating whether the contralateral delay activity tracks the number of objects of the number of unique identities held in working memory. Attentional Load: Contrasting well established electrophysiological effects of attentional load measured with EEG with the BOLD response measured with fNIRS.
