معرفی
Amanda Holmes is an Associate Professor at the University of Roehampton's School of Psychology and affiliated with the Centre for Research in Psychological Wellbeing. Her research focuses on cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying emotional information processing, particularly in affective disorders like anxiety and depression. She has published extensively since 2003, with over 30 peer-reviewed articles and chapters.
Qualifications: BSc, PhD, Chartered Psychologist (CPsychol), Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS).
Research Interests: Holmes investigates how emotion processing interacts with attention mechanisms, using behavioral observations and electrophysiological methods (e.g., ERP). Her work bridges human and non-human primate studies, exploring cognitive bias measures for animal welfare and the neural basis of attention allocation to emotional stimuli.
Recent Trends in Research: Her recent work includes studies on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) effects on emotional perception, attention bias in animals, and the role of load in threat processing. These studies highlight her interdisciplinary approach, combining neuroscience and psychology to address mental health challenges.
Supervised Work: Holmes has supervised 6 research projects, though specific student names are not listed. She collaborates with institutions like the Macaque Research Group and contributes to animal welfare initiatives.
Labs/Teams: Active within the Centre for Research in Psychological Wellbeing, she leads projects on cognitive bias and neural mechanisms of emotion, fostering collaborations in experimental psychology and behavioral neuroscience.
