Samuel Evans

Dr. Samuel Evans is a Lecturer in Neuroscience and Psychology at King's College London, affiliated with the Department of Neuroimaging within the School of Neuroscience and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. His research focuses on neuroimaging (fMRI/fNIRS) and behavioral studies of language processing, auditory processing in psychosis-prone individuals, and aphantasia. He teaches functional brain imaging and oversees the research project module for the Neuroscience & Psychology BSc program.

Research interests include the neural basis of spoken and visual language comprehension (e.g., British Sign Language), auditory processing deficits, and imagery deficits. Key methodologies involve functional neuroimaging and behavioral experiments.

Recent work explores auditory hallucinations' neural correlates and the impact of aphantasia on cognitive tasks. He leads a project investigating auditory imagery deficits in aphantasia, funded by the EPS Experimental Psychology Society (2023–2023).
