Dr Bradley Jack
Dr Bradley Jack’s research focuses on how neural processes give rise to inner experiences, such as inner speech, consciousness, and the sense of agency. To investigate this, he combines behavioural and electrophysiological techniques, advanced signal analyses, and computational modelling. Understanding these processes has far-reaching implications, from addressing auditory-verbal hallucinations in disorders like schizophrenia to developing…

Dr Mary Dahm’s research is investigating how doctors communicate with patients while searching for a diagnosis, especially when they’re uncertain about a diagnosis. By analysing the words doctors and patients use, Dr Dahm is collecting evidence from real-life clinical interactions to understand how the way doctors and patients talk can affect diagnostic safety. Dr Dahm…

This is not reflected on your household bill since most of the processing occurs in the cloud, at data centres scattered around the world. The International Energy Agency projects that data centre’s electricity consumption…
