Dr Samuel Jones

Professional biography

My core interest is in the effects of ageing on the brain, particularly in relation to how older adults process sensory signals (from sight, sound, touch, etc.), though I am also involved in a range of other psychology and cognitive neuroscience research. I use a variety of methods in my research, including computerised behavioural testing (online and in person), fMRI, eye tracking, and computational modelling.

I most enjoy teaching quantitative research methods and statistics, and have a lot of experience doing so at a range of levels. I also regularly contribute to cognitive and biological psychology teaching.

I am a Chartered Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. I am also a member of the editorial board of the journal Aging Brain, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and have served as a reviewer of research articles and grant proposals for a variety of academic journals and funding organisations.

I currently have active collaborations with researchers at Nottingham Trent University; the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition, and Behaviour (Radboud University, Netherlands); the University of Trento (Italy); Staffordshire University; and Birmingham City University.
