Personal profile
Research interests
Josh is interested in the effects of physical exercise and non-invasive brain stimulation on neuroplasticity and cognitive function. His research explores how these approaches can be applied to harness neuroplasticity and improve various facets of learning/memory (e.g. declarative memory and motor skill learning). To address these questions, he utilises different forms of neuroimaging (i.e. MR spectroscopy, fMRI, EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation, and exercise physiology techniques (e.g. indirect calorimetry).
