Glyn Humphreys ghumphreys.jpg (4850 bytes)
Glyn Humphreys is Professor of Cognitive Psychology and currently Head of the School of Psychology.

Email Address: G.W.Humphreys@Bham.ac.uk

He has broad research interests covering:

* visual cognition (object & word recognition, visual attention)
* cognitive neuropsychology (agnosia, neglect, frontal lobe disorders, dyslexia)
* computational modelling of normal and disordered cognition
* functional imaging and TMS
