The PhD project is focused on identifying the role of conscious perception through a neuroimaging and computational investigation. The project aims to characterise the neural correlates that support the formation of episodic memories and explain these findings with the Simultaneous Type/ Serial Token (STST) model, a neural network model of temporal attention. The project is competition-funded under the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, supported by the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
