Dr Alexander Jones

Broadly, Dr Jones' research interests include attention, action, and multisensory integration, and using cognitive neuroscience techniques to investigate how the brain and behaviour relate. Focus has been on exploring how we select and attend to information which is constantly bombarding our senses. In particular how we process and attend to the sense of touch and how the neural oscillations entrain to rhythmic stimuli. Of interest has also been to explore how we process sensory information which is a consequence of our own actions (action prediction). Moreover, how do we perceive other peoples' actions (action observation), and whether this is different for experts and non-experts

Key research areas and methods include electroencephalography (EEG), event related potentials (ERPs), transcranical alternating current stimulation (tACS) and behavioural measures (e.g., response times and error rates).
