Dr Richard Binney
Reader in Cognitive Neuroscience | Director, Bangor Imaging Unit | Co-Director, North Wales Centre for Human Anatomy
Overview
Research
Richard conducts research into where and how the human brain stores and flexibly uses our knowledge of people, objects, and words (in other words, our semantic memory). To do so, he employs a multi-method approach that includes behavioural measures (e.g., accuracy and reaction times), brain imaging and non-invasive brain stimulation.Ìý Further, his research seeks to advance our understanding of language and behavioural impairments that result from brain injury and dementia, and use research findings to help people manage their language disabilities and social difficulties.

Research Interests
Richard's research spans several themes, including but not limited to:
- where and how the human brain stores our knowledge of people, objects, words and actions (in other words, our semantic memory).Ìý
- how processes involved in semantic memory contribute to our engagement in social interactions (social cognition)
- what are the consequences of social and semantic processesÌý being impaired by brain damage or disease
- how is the brain wired to give rise to various cognitive functions
- how can we improve methods to study brain functions and connectivity (e.g., brain imaging methods)
