Dr Dan Kennedy-Higgins
Teaching Fellow in Psychology
Biography
Dan is a Teaching Fellow on the BSc Psychology Programme, Department of Psychology, IoPPN.
Dan's research focuses on trying to understand the cognitive and neural mechanisms involved in the successful perception of clear speech and how these mechanisms change when speech becomes distorted, e.g. due to the presence of background noise. To investigate this topic, Dan uses behavioural, neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) research paradigms. In addition, he has recently become interested in the processes underlying errors in reading, using behavioural and eye-tracking paradigms.
