Members
Professor Huw Williams
Prof Huw Williams investigates the consequences of neuro-trauma across various populations to examine how changes in brain functions can lead to neuropsychological problems and changes in behaviour. This includes work with children, young people and adults, in Emergency Care, Sports, and the Justice System. The main goal is to identify how significant, and sometimes even mild trauma, can change a person’s capacity to engage with others as such injury may affect the ability to problem solve and process emotions (one’s own and others).
Dr Anna Adlam
Dr Anna Adlam is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist (D.Clin.Psy.) and academic Neuropsychologist (Ph.D.), who specialises in working with individuals who have survived paediatric brain injury. Anna is now a Senior Lecturer and a British Academy Mid-Career Fellow (2015/16). The main focus of Anna’s research is to develop and evaluate neuropsychological interventions for young people who have survived a neurological condition (e.g., acquired brain injury).
Dr Phil Yates
Dr Phil Yates is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, Practitioner Psychologist and Member of the Specialist Register of Clinical Neuropsychologists as recognised by the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professions Council.

He conducted the first population-based studies to identify the associations between vitamin D deficiency and cognitive impairment in the Health Survey for England and cognitive decline in the InCHIANTI study.
Dr Fraser Milton
Fraser’s interests lie in the broad area of learning and memory and his work examines transient epileptic amnesia, a form of temporal lobe epilepsy, which is particularly associated with persistent memory deficits. Fraser’s research has focused, in particular, on the remote memory deficits in transient epileptic amnesia where he has helped to characterise the nature and extent of these memory problems and has also used functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques to illuminate the neural substrates of the autobiographical memory problems.
Professor Adam Zeman
Professor Adam Zeman is Professor of Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology in the University of Exeter Medical School. He trained in Medicine at Oxford University Medical School, after a first degree in Philosophy and Psychology, and later in Neurology in Oxford, at The National Hospital for Neurology in Queen Square, London and Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. His main research interests are amnesia associated with epilepsy and disorders of visual imagery. He has an active background interest in the science and philosophy of consciousness.
Dr Henrietta Roberts
Henrietta is interested in the use of experimental methodologies to examine the nature of the relations between aspects of cognition, psychopathology, and self-regulation. Henrietta completed her PhD examining the relationship between rumination and cognitive inhibition under the supervision of Professors Ed Watkins and Andy Wills. Henrietta is currently working with Dr Anna Adlam on an ISSF funded project examining whether working memory training reduces repetitive negative thinking.
