Samuel David Jones is a Lecturer in Psychology at Bangor University's School of Psychology & Sport Science and a member of the Cognitive Neuroscience Institute. His research focuses on computational approaches to understanding individual differences in human cognitive development across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on speech, language, and communication skills. Dr. Jones earned his PhD from Lancaster University in April 2020 and an MA from the University of Nottingham in April 2017. His educational background has equipped him with strong methodological expertise in behavioral experimentation and computational modeling. His research program centers on three key areas: (i) auditory processing, particularly how frequency discrimination relates to developmental language disorders; (ii) the neural population dynamics of neurodivergent learning and cognitive control; and (iii) resource-rational models of neurodivergent information seeking. His work employs computational modeling to develop transdiagnostic theories that can explain patterns across neurodevelopmental conditions including developmental language disorder, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and autism spectrum disorder. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a clear trajectory from foundational work on auditory processing mechanisms toward more theoretical contributions around rational inattention frameworks. His research increasingly integrates computational modeling with behavioral experimentation to develop unified theories of neurodevelopmental variation. The work spans multiple disciplines including cognitive neuroscience, developmental psychology, and computational cognitive science, with strong implications for clinical assessment and intervention. Dr. Jones has secured significant research funding including a £59,472 grant from The Waterloo Foundation for "The Waterloo Foundation report into transdiagnostic neurodevelopmental assessment" (2025-2026), a £30,896 Royal Society Research Grant for "Enhancing developmental speech perception modelling through head and torso simulation" (2024-2025), and a £7,160 UKRI grant for high-spec computing resources to model the neurodivergent brain.

Dr. Marco Bernini is an Associate Professor in Cognitive Literary Studies in the Department of English Studies at Durham University. He also serves as the Lead of the Narrative and Cognition Lab within the Institute for Medical Humanities and sits on the Steering Committee of the Institute of Medical Humanities. His interdisciplinary work bridges literary studies and cognitive sciences with a focus on how literature explores cognitive processes. Dr. Bernini's academic background includes: Marie Curie Junior Research Fellow (2012-2014) at Durham University Wellcome Postdoctoral Research Associate (2014-2018) at Durham University IASH fellow at the University of Edinburgh (2011-2012) Core member of the Wellcome Trust interdisciplinary project 'Hearing the Voice' (2012-2021) Member of projects on 'Narrative and Complex Systems' at the University of York and 'History of Distributed Cognition' at the University of Edinburgh Co-leader of the IAS Major Project on 'Dreams, Narrative and Liminal Cognition' (2020-2022) His research focuses on how literary narratives portray cognitive processes such as levels of consciousness, self-knowledge, memory, mindwandering, inner speech, and emotional states. He has made significant contributions to understanding Samuel Beckett's work through cognitive frameworks, examining how Beckett's explorations of consciousness challenge traditional literary analysis. His work also extends to the relationship between writing and authorial intentionality from an extended mind perspective, and narrative approaches to cognitive theories of complexity and emergence. Dr. Bernini frequently examines liminal states of consciousness such as dreams, hallucinations, and transitional states between waking and sleeping, demonstrating how literature can both reflect and enrich cognitive scientific understanding of these phenomena. His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on cognitive literary studies with particular attention to narrative representations of consciousness. The work shows strong interdisciplinary connections between literary analysis and cognitive science, especially in examining how literature explores complex mental states. His scholarship frequently engages with modernist and contemporary literature, particularly the works of Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust, and other authors who experiment with narrative forms to represent cognitive experiences. Dr. Bernini has received notable recognition for his work: 2018: Durham Research Staff Awards - Joint first prize (with Ben Alderson-Day, Department of Psychology) Dr. Bernini actively mentors PhD students James de Lullington and Noor Dabbas. His teaching includes specialized courses such as 'Mind and Narrative' at the undergraduate level and 'Narrative and Thresholds of Consciousness' at the MA level, which he co-teaches with Dr. Peter Garratt. These courses reflect his commitment to interdisciplinary education, combining cognitive science with literary studies to explore how narratives represent mental processes. He has secured significant research funding through fellowships from prestigious organizations including the Marie Curie program and the Wellcome Trust. As the Lead of the Narrative and Cognition Lab within Durham's Institute for Medical Humanities, Dr. Bernini fosters collaborative research that bridges humanities and cognitive sciences. The lab provides a space for interdisciplinary dialogue about how narrative structures interact with cognitive processes, particularly in relation to consciousness, selfhood, and mental health. His leadership in this area has positioned Durham University as a significant center for cognitive literary studies.
