Long Citation
Terence Picton is a major world figure in sensory and cognitive neuroscience. His work on event-related brain potentials and their significance has been influential for 30 years, and his recent work has shown how brain functions can be understood by combining data from different neuroimaging modalities. His broad research interests have clarified the complexities of sensory, attentional, and memory systems, the timing of brain processes, and the nature of consciousness. He has also applied his findings in clinical settings, to the understanding of schizophrenia for example, and to the development of a powerful new technique for the assessment of hearing.
