Bio:

BA Natural Sciences Cambridge 1967. PhD Cambridge on single-cell neurophysiology (supervisor Gabriel Horn)1967-70. Postdoctoral research fellow working on single-cell neurophysiology of retina, LGN, visual cortex, strabismus with Hisako Ikeda at the Royal College of Surgeons of England (1970-73) and St Thomas's Hospital Medical School (1973-75). Postdoctoral research fellow: (1975-6) at Cambridge in Horace Barlow's lab (retinal ganglion cells). At Brunel University since 1976 as Lecturer/ Reader/ Professor/ Emeritus Professor in Psychology (visual motion psychophysics, neural net models, change blindness, saliency, fMRI and perceptual skills in sport, ERPs and chess expertise). Postdocs: Alan Johnston, the late Vernon Dobson, Kevin Gurney, Louise Lakha.
