Jason Taylor is a Lecturer in the Division of Psychology Communication and Human Neuroscience at the University of Manchester. He directs the EEG Lab in Dover Street Building and serves as Principal Investigator of the Multimodal Neuroimaging and Memory Lab (MNML). His academic qualifications include a PhD in Experimental Psychology from Brown University, an ScM from the same institution, and a BA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Manitoba.
Taylor's research focuses on human memory systems using multimodal neuroimaging approaches including fMRI, MEG, and EEG. Key areas include:
- Neurocognitive changes in ageing and dementia
- Episodic and semantic memory mechanisms
- Optimization of neuroimaging methodologies
- Cognitive impairments in neurological disorders
His recent publications (2022-2023) demonstrate strong focus on EEG applications in clinical neuroscience, working memory studies, and cognitive ageing research. The work frequently involves quantitative analysis of neural oscillations and their relationship to cognitive functions.
Taylor actively advises PhD candidates and supervises doctoral research projects. Current students include researchers investigating neural bases of false memory, episodic memory augmentation, and multimodal neuroimaging of semantic memory. He maintains collaborations with institutions including Royal Northern College of Music, MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, and Northwestern University.
His laboratory (MNML) supports grant-funded research and student projects, with specialized facilities for EEG experimentation. Taylor teaches extensively in neuroimaging methodology across undergraduate and postgraduate programs, including courses on SPM M/EEG analysis and cognitive neuroscience.
