Background
Introduction
My primary research interests are in both the clinical and technical aspects of Clinical Neurophysiology. I am currently involved in an EU wide clinical audit project but I also maintain my activities in the areas of signal processing and expert systems. I also have an interest and some experience in imaging technologies as applied to neurophysiology. I have been a member of the University School of Neurosciences since qualifying in medicine in 1979.
Area of expertise
Clinical neurophysiology
