Professor Wilson is the Associate Professor in experimental
psychology and human movement science. Broadly, his research is
interested in the processes underpinning skilled performance; why
skills might break down under pressure; and how we might optimize
the skill acquisition process. As a chartered psychologist and
registered practitioner with the Health and Care Professions
Council, he also provides psychological support services in a range
of performance domains (including Olympic and professional
athletes). Dr. Walsh is Professor of Human Brain Research at the
Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University College,
London. He is the author of over 300 manuscripts, most involving
cognitive neuroscience and brain stimulation.
The research group he leads is called Applied Cognitive
Neuroscience (ACN). The goal is to use neuroscience to improve high
performance in sport, high pressure decision making and advancing
human brain stimulation in cognition and health. Prof Walsh is
particularly interested in sleep, plasticity and extending
classical findings to older people. Traditional strengths of his
group's work has been investigations of the functions of the
parietal lobe, the frontal eye fields and their interactions with
primary and secondary visual areas. The techniques his group uses
include transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and DC stimulation.
He runs the ICN TMS facility and also organises the annual TMS
Summer School with The Magstim Company. Professor Parkin is a
professor at University College London
