Studying neurodiversity in middle to late adulthood through neuroimaging

About the Project

Research on neurodiversity, which includes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism, has primarily focused on children. However, these conditions are still prevalent in adults, approximately 3% of adults have ADHD and 1% are autistic. This project aims to address the gap in research on neurodiversity in middle to late adulthood. Our group specialises in neuroimaging techniques, such as Electroencephalography (EEG), functional and structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and multimodal data analysis. We welcome applicants who are interested in exploring the cognitive and neuroimaging aspects of ADHD and/or autism in middle to late adulthood. The project can be tailored according to the applicant’s interests and strengths.

Funding Notes

Distinction/merit MSc (or equivalent) in cognitive neuroscience, neuroimaging, psychology, engineering, or related discipline. Having good programming skills and/or prior experience in EEG or MRI is advantageous.
