Dr Corinne Bareham-Waldock PhD, BSc, Hons

Senior Lecturer

School of Psychology

Following my PhD at the University of Cambridge, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in Brisbane then back to Cambridge, lecturing part-time in London, before repatriating to NZ on a Neurological Foundation Fellowship.  My research investigates the neural correlates of healthy spatial attention and Unilateral Spatial Neglect. I primarily use electroencephalography (EEG) to investigate the transition in consciousness between wakeful and healthy sleep onset and associated changes in attention. I am also investigating neuroimaging techniques that can track changes in behavioural measures of conscious awareness, potentially lending to more accurate diagnosis and prognosis in paitents with a disorder of consciousness.
