V. Walsh

Born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Vincent Walsh graduated in
Psychology from the University of Sheffield and studied at UMIST for his
PhD in Visual Neuroscience. His early interests were in the brain mecha-
nisms for the construction and perception of form and colour. He currently
holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in the Department
of Experimental Psychology, Oxford, where his work is now concentrated
on perceptual learning and mechanisms of brain plasticity. His recent
initiatives using magnetic stimulation have been the first series of experi-
ments to use the technique to study cognitive processes. Recent additions
to the subjects of research in his laboratory include the brain processes
involved in mathematics, music and language.
