Tutorial on how to anlayze semantic speech networks with netts. Guide on basic and advanced network measures netts can calculate to explore the structure of networks.

Tutorial on how to create semantic speech networks with netts. Step-by-step guide on how to set up netts, install dependencies. Walks through generating a single network from speech and generating many networks from a database of speech samples.

Brief introduction to the speech network algorithm ‘netts’, an NLP package for analysing the content of natural speech using graph theory.

During the Western Brainhack 2022, we built a Functional Atlas Explorer. The web-based app allows the user to explore functional regions in the cerebellum. Selecting a cerebellar regions gives a task profile (which functions is this region involved in?) and a connectivity profile (which cortical regions are functionally connected to this cerebellar region?).

Guide to inspecting different types of imaging data. Particular focus on surface visualisation. Nomalization and registration checks coming soon.

Guide to creating and using fieldmaps to correct MRI data for B0 field inhomogeneities. Particularly focussed on visual inspection and troubleshooting, as there are a few pitfalls when doing fieldmap correction.

I am an Oxford Postgraduate Access Mentor, because I am convinced that Oxford should be an accessible place regardless of background. As part of my access work, I have one-on-one mentoring sessions with prospective students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Many students, junior researchers and even senior academics struggle with imposter syndrome, particularly those who are underrepresented in academia. In honor of Women’s History Month, I organised an informal get-together for the members of Jesus College to discuss strategies for tackling imposter syndrome and navigating academia.

Dance is a fundamental form of human expression. But how do humans string together complex movements to a choreographed dance? How do audience and dancer interact during the performance? To explore the fascinating topic of ‘The Neuroscience of Dance’, I organised an afternoon combining science, virtual reality and performance, as part of the Centre for the Creative Brain program led by Professor Charlotte Stagg.

To showcase the wide variety of research conducted by graduate students at Jesus College, I organised the ‘Jesus College Graduate Lightning Talks’. The talks consisted of 3-minute lightning pitches summarising the student’s project plus a Q&A session.
