Opponent visuospatial coding as a fundamental organising principle of brain intergration
In 2026 the lab will begin work on a newly awarded BBSRC grant (UKRI2952) to investigate the extent to which opponent visuospatial coding represents a fundamental organising principle of brain intergration. The grant (~£600k) which will combine fMRI and EEG builds upon recent work by our lab (Scrivener & Silson, 2025) and collaborators (Steel, Silson et al., 2014) to investigate the interplay of positive and negative population receptive fields (pRFs) in broader cogniton.
Understanding Scene Processing in the Human Brain
In January 2021 the lab was awarded a BBSRC grant (BB/V003887/1) to investigate scene processing in the human brain using a combination of fMRI, MEG, psychophysics, eye-tracking and TMS. The grant (£~800,000) is in collaboration with Prof. Tony Morland at the University of York.
