Dr Alison Lee, Senior Lecturer: Psychology

I work in the Department of Psychology, where I teach Biological Psychology, Abnormal Psychology and Neuropsychology courses. I currently have one PhD student working on Parkinson's disease projects and another working on healthy ageing.

My research interests are the neuropsychological changes that occur as a result of Parkinson's disease. In particular, I am interested in changes in visuospatial awareness in the disease, for example, how PD sufferers judge distance and plan a path through rooms. I am currently involved in collaborations with Dr Dorothy Robertson at Royal United Hospital and also with Professor Alice Cronin-Golomb of the Vision and Cognition Laboratory in Boston University.

I am a member of the Biopsychology Research Unit (BPU) in the School of Science, Society and Management.

Apart from my PD work, I have an interest in motor disorders in general, healthy ageing, perception-to-action, and the philosophy of consciousness.
