概要

My research aims to understand how pain is processed in the brain, and how behaviour and physiological responses are controlled following injury. The ultimate aim is to develop novel treatments to reduce or abolish pain in patients. This research is part theoretical: building realistic ‘systems’ level models of neuronal information processes to understand processes of pain perception and injury, and part experimental: testing these theories using a range of experimental methodologies - especially human experiments using as functional magnetic resonance brain imaging.
