Here are some of the studies I've worked on.

Let me know if you have trouble accessing any of them.

I study how the brain learns, how experiences rewire its connections, and how skills can transfer across domains. My research experience spans cognitive training, multitasking, decision-making, and attention. I've explored how the brain works in these contexts using techniques from pharmacology and live neuronal recordings in mice, to electrical brain stimulation and ultra-high resolution MRI in humans.

Stimulating Prefrontal Cortex Facilitates Training Transfer by Increasing Representational Overlap 

(Cerebral Cortex, 2024)

Summary: This study shows that prefrontal tDCS enhances the transfer of training benefits to new tasks by increasing the similarity of neural representations between tasks.

Neurochemical Predictors of Generalised Learning Induced by Brain Stimulation and Training 

(Journal of Neuroscience, 2024)

Summary: This study identifies that higher baseline levels of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex predict greater improvements in cognitive performance across various tasks following combined brain stimulation and multitasking training.

Endogenous cannabinoids in the piriform cortex tune olfactory perception

(Nature Communications, 2024)

Summary: The brain's natural cannabinoid system in the piriform cortex fine-tunes the neural coding of smells, dynamically shaping olfactory perception.

Neural substrates of individual differences in learning generalisation via paired brain stimulation and multitasking training

(Cerebral Cortex, 2023)

Summary: Individual differences in the multiple-demand system predict the extent of learning generalisation following multitasking training paired with tDCS.

Individual differences in decision strategy relate to neurochemical excitability and cortical thickness

(Journal of Neuroscience, 2023)

Summary: Variations in decision-making strategies are linked to differences in frontal cortical thickness and the balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurochemicals.

tDCS augments decision-making efficiency in an intensity dependent manner: A training study

(Neuropsychologia, 2023)

Summary: This study demonstrates that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the prefrontal cortex enhances decision-making efficiency during training, with the degree of improvement varying according to the intensity of the stimulation.

On the relationship between GABA+ and glutamate across the brain

(NeuroImage, 2022)

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between GABA+ and glutamate concentrations across various brain regions, revealing that these neurotransmitters exhibit region-specific associations rather than a uniform balance throughout the brain.

The influence of tDCS intensity on decision-making training and transfer outcomes

(Journal of Neurophysiology, 2021)

Summary: This study found that applying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) at 1.0 mA during multitasking training significantly improved performance and facilitated the transfer of skills to untrained tasks, whereas intensities of 0.7 mA and 2.0 mA were less effective.
