Joel Pearson
The lab investigates how we experience, simulate, understand and remember information from the world around us. More specifically we investigate the phenomenology, mechanisms and neural basis of mental imagery, working memory, decision-making, visual perception, learning and the clinical applications for all these processes. We currently utilise behavioural methods, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), all with human subjects.

Catherine M Suter
Cath Suter is currently an ARC Fellow and head of the Epigenetics Laboratory at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Sydney. Suter was the first to describe germline epimutations in humans, and her major interest continues to be mammalian germline epigenetic phenomena and their inheritance. Her group focuses on the epigenetic contribution to phenotypic variation and disease risk, with a particular interest in the role of environment in modulating epigenetic inheritance.
