The Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience Research Group in the Department of Psychology researches lower- and higher-level cognition, as well as applied topics including:
Our research employs a wide range of methods from experimental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, psychophysics, modelling and psychometrics. Within this research group, we have the Jones & Silas Cognitive Neuroscience Lab and the Music Cognition and Communication Lab. We have used some of our work to solve problems in the clinical domain and criminal justice system.
We use a range of equipment and have access to state of the art facilities dedicated to our research. Our research includes the use of several high end EEG systems (e.g. 128 electrode BioSemi, 64 electrode ActiChamp, Wireless LiveAmp, R-Nets, BioRadio) as well as both magnetic and electrical brain stimulation such as transcranial Alternating/Direct Current Stimulation (tACS/tDCS) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
Moreover, we have several eye-trackers (Tobii) used in both adult and infant research. Our psychophysiology lab includes both stationary (BioPac) and portable (PowerLab) systems.
Cognitive Psychology researchers at Middlesex have considerable resources available to them, including:
Associate Professor in Neuropsychology
Dr Brunswick research focuses on the relationship between language, literacy, musical and artistic ability in children and adults, with a particular focus on typical reading development and developmental dyslexia. Her recent focus has been on creativity and self-perception in dyslexic readers, and how this influences subject studied at university and future career aspirations. Dr Brunswick is co-chair of the Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience Research Group.
Senior Lecturer in Neuropsychology
Dr de Mornay Davies' research focuses on simulating symptoms of aphasia in unimpaired adults using a variety of behavioural methods designed to induce cognitive overload. In addition, he is also interested in non-linguistic aspects of cognition that impact language processing.
Professor in Decision Psychology
Professor Dhami's research focuses on human judgement and decision-making, risk perception and risk taking, and understanding and communicating uncertainty. She has examined these issues extensively in the criminal justice and security sectors. Professor Dhami is co-editor of Judgement and Decision Making, the official journal of the Society for Judgement and Decision Making as well as the European Association for Decision Making.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Franco is interested in developmental science and music psychology. Her recent research has focused on the two most intense phases of change in human life: infancy and older age. Her work is mostly experimental. Dr Franco coordinates the Music Cognition & Communication Lab.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Jones' research interests include attention, action, and timing, and using cognitive neuroscience techniques to investigate how the brain and behaviour relate. His recent focus has been on exploring how we select and attend to information which is constantly bombarding our senses. In particular how we process and attend to the sense of touch and how neural oscillations entrain to rhythmic events. Dr Jones also leads the Jones & Silas lab.
Associate Professor in Psychology
Dr le Boutillier's research interests are based on identifying the indicators and predictors of creativity. These include empirical measures of mental imagery, personality measures of sub-clinical psychopathology and other assessments of self.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Reynolds' research explores the development of emotions such as fear, anxiety and disgust during childhood, in particular the cognitive mechanisms and mediating factors associated with the development of these emotions.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
As an interdisciplinary researcher, Dr Russell publishes on diverse topics surrounding his main research interest on the evolution of expert cognition and social behaviour. His research covers both humans and animals. He has studied the social behaviour of chimpanzees and other great apes in captivity, and he has conducted laboratory-based studies on aspects of human cognition. Dr Russell is co-chair of the Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience Research Group.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Silas' research is in the field of social cognition and cognitive neuroscience, and he also has an interest in the methods used to study cognition. Further, he is interested in the role of mirroring systems in the human brain and the role of embodied processes in understanding others. He is also interested in biological and cognitive mechanisms involved in olfactory processing. Dr Silas leads the Jones & Silas Lab.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Slabu's research interests revolve around trying to understand the precursors and outcomes of state authenticity, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying the impact of social power on people’s feelings, perceptions and actions.
Senior Lecturer in Psychology
Dr Ward's research focuses on the relationship between different expressions of memory and how they are affected by ageing. She is also interested in incidental vs intentional memory, and how memory encoding and retrieval are affected by attention, depth of processing, context, rhythm, and prediction.

A British Academy of Management (BAM) funded project (Professor Mandeep Dhami, Co-I) that aims to identify psychological mechanisms inducing or inhibiting scenario planning’s perspective-broadening effect, in order to develop interventions that maximise perspective-broadening and minimise perspective-narrowing.
A registered report using transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS). This is an ongoing preregistered study, see more details.
Project funded by the BIAL Foundation (Emma Ward, Alexander Jones, Jon Silas). As part of an ongoing programme of research on the effects of rhythm and temporal expectation on memory, this project is investigating how the rhythmic presentation of stimuli affects memory formation using behavioural and EEG measures.
Project funded by the Leverhulme Trust (Emma Ward). This research aims to understand age-related changes in explicit (e.g., recognition) and implicit (e.g., repetition priming) forms of memory, and clarify interactions with processing style and different demands involved at memory encoding and retrieval.
Project funded by the Society of Education and Music Psychology Research (Nicky Brunswick and Fabia Franco). This ongoing research project is exploring the relationship between musicality and reading ability in professional ballet dancers and musicians.
