James is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Cognitive Science. He is a cognitive neuroscientist in the System-Human Interaction with NIRS and EEG (SHINE) Laboratory at the Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC). He uses multimodal methods (e.g., fMRI, fNIRS, eye-tracking, physiology, deep-learning, etc.) in ‘real-world’ and lab-based paradigms to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms supporting cognitive security (i.e., how the brain defends against information-based threats like disinformation, cyber attacks, etc.). This research is supported by the Department of Defense’s Multidisciplinary University Research Initiatives (MURI) Program. James received his BA in Psychology and Philosophy at Adrian College, Michigan, Master's of Research (MRes) in cognitive neuroscience at University College London (UCL), England, and PhD in cognitive neuroscience at UCL, working under Professors Paul W. Burgess (Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (ICN), UCL), Joy Hirsch (Department of Psychiatry, Yale University), and Antonia Hamilton (ICN, UCL).
