Helen E Nuttall

I am a Lecturer in Cognitive Neuroscience in the Department of Psychology at Lancaster University UK, where I lead the Neuroscience of Speech and Action (NoSA) Laboratory http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/nosalab/. The NoSA Lab investigates research questions surrounding how speech, action, and cognitive function are represented in the brain; how these functions work in health and disease; and how they are affected by the ageing process and hearing loss. To answer these questions, I use a variety of neuroscientific and behavioural techniques to measure brain function and behaviour. Prior to joining Lancaster University, I worked as a Leverhulme Trust-funded Postdoctoral Research Associate with Professor Patti Adank and Professor Joe Devlin at University College London. In my PhD in Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience from the University of Nottingham I investigated how speech is represented in the subcortical auditory system.
