Members of the Cognition Group study autobiographical episodic and semantic memory, perception and attentional processes, conceptual knowledge, working memory, mental imagery, intelligence measurement and theory.
We employ a range of methods including behavioural and cognitive experimental approaches, structural and functional MRI, electroencephalography, functional near infra-red spectroscopy, cortical stimulation and computational modelling.
The Cognition Group is part of the ARU Centre for Mind and Behaviour.
We offer a Psychology PhD. We have also identified a range of innovative research project opportunities for postgraduate researchers.

Sharon Buckland, currently writing up her PhD under the supervision of Prof Peter Bright and Dr Emma Kaminskiy, has published a study on the psychological repercussions of acquired brain injury, not only on the person with the injury, but also the wider family unit. The study is entitled 'Individual and family experiences of loss after acquired brain injury: A multi-method investigation'.
