Becky gained a First Class BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of East London in 2017, followed by an MSc with distinction in Forensic Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2019. During her MSc, she investigated the role of visual imagery in deception intention production (lying about the future) using transcranial magnetic stimulation to the brain. She also worked in the Visual Cognition EEG lab and Drugs EEG lab at the University of East London.
Becky started her PhD in Psychology in 2021. Her research investigates the role of attention and expectations in non-perceptual conscious experiences (eg visual imagery, hallucinations) using EEG, drawing on predictive coding processes such as precision-weighting in the prediction error minimisation framework. She is also member of the Cognitive Psychology lab, conducting psychophysical research into time perception, expectations and objective reality and consensus.
