I am a Doctor of Psychology within the School of Psychology - Faculty of Health at Plymouth University. I am currently a Research Assistant on two neuroscience projects about autism. One of them invesitgates ways technology may be used to reduce NHS wait times for adult autism assesment, the other investigates predictive social perception.
