Psychology Research Studentships,  School of Biology, University of 
Newcastle upon Tyne

We are an enthusiastic and growing research community which provides 
a stimulating and exciting research environment. This year we are 
offering a number of studentships funded by Research Councils and the 
School of Biology.  We have a particularly strong vision grouping, 
whose research interests are outlined below. Please feel free to 
contact individual faculty directly.

The visual and neuroscience grouping covers a diverse range of research areas,
including cognitive and computational neuroscience in both 
vertebrates and invertebrates; human visual perception; visual 
neurophysiology; perception and action; psychophysics of colour 
vision; perception of natural images; neurophysiology of spatial and 
episodic memory; functional brain imaging.

Vision faculty members include:

Piers Cornelissen (p.l.cornelissen@ncl.ac.uk) - Visual imaging 
(including MEG, fMRI)
Julie Harris (j.harris@ncl.ac.uk) - Human binocular vision and eye movements
Anya Hurlbert (anya.hurlbert@ncl.ac.uk) - Human vision, shape and 
colour perception
Gabriele Jordan (gabriele.jordan@ncl.ac.uk) - colour vision, tetrachromacy
Ted Sharpe (l.t.sharpe@ncl.ac.uk) - Colour vision and psychophysics
Yoav Tadmor (yoav.tadmor@ncl.ac.uk) - Natural image analysis
Alexander Thiele (alex.thiele@ncl.ac.uk)  - Visual neuroscience
Martin Tovee (m.j.tovee@ncl.ac.uk) - Visual neurophysiology, human 
attractiveness
