Dr Jemma Sedgmond

I am a cognitive neuroscientist with a research focus on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation for the modification of eating behaviours. I received my PhD from Cardiff University where I previously worked as a Brain Stimulation Lab Manager. My PhD research investigated the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and cognitive control training in changing automatic associations to food cues.

At UWE, I am a member of the Psychological Sciences Research Group (PSRG), and the Theme Lead for the Optimising Performance and Engagement (OPE) theme. I am the Co-Module Leader for the Level 3 Psychology Project Module, and I also teach on Research Design and Analysis 1; Mind, Brain and Development, and Intro to Psychology. I supervise undergraduate and postgraduate dissertation projects within my areas of expertise.
