I am Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin and a Wellcome Trust Senior Investigator.
I explore brain systems supporting learning, memory, and cognition, and brain systems affected by stress and depression. I also explore the policy implications of the behavioural and brain sciences.
I have published >130 papers and edited 4 academic books.
I have written several books:
In Praise of Walking: The new science of how we walk and why it’s good for us (Bodley Head/Vintage/PenguinRandomHouse & widely in translation: more here)
‘A Brain for Business: A Brain for Life‘ (Palgrave)
‘Why Torture Doesn’t Work: The Neuroscience of Interrogation’ (Harvard)
