Papers on Psychological Modelling

Recently, I have collaborated with John Wearden to produce a model of the neural clock in scalar timing. The clock is based in a spiking neuron model, and produces a very simple explanation of the scalar phenomenon in interval timing.

Previously, I did neural modelling of various aspects of the experimental psychology of human memory, in collaboration with Professor G. Hitch of Lancaster University, M. Malloch (whereabouts unknown), Dr. Jonathan Foster of Manchester University, and Neil Burgess of UCL.
