研究领域

Professor Watson’s research focuses on three main themes: (a) the study of function and structure of the brain (predominantly posterior brain centres including the occipital cortex and parietal cortex), using advanced brain imaging techniques; (b) methodological improvements related to these studies; (c) clinical studies that provide insight into normal and abnormal brain functions, across a wide range of human cognition. His interests extend from visual physiology and parietal lobe function, to the study of memory, dementias in young people, and cognitive dysfunction after hypoxic and hypotensive brain damage. He also has a clinical interest in stroke and has been involved in a number of international trials of agents designed to limit the amount of brain damage after a stroke, or to reduce the likelihood subsequent strokes. Professor Watson has established collaborations within Australia and internationally to undertake his program of research.
