Ronan Denyer

PhD, Post-Doctoral Researcher

Arriving soon...

Ronan Denyer completed a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, where his final year thesis project was supervised by Prof. Richard Carson. Ronan is currently completing a PhD in Neuroscience at The University of British Columbia, Canada, under the supervision of Dr. Lara Boyd. His PhD thesis research aims to better understand the neural control of simple and complex bimanual movements by combining neuroimaging, brain stimulation, and behavioural methodologies. Ronan is joining the CoActions Lab in 2023 as a postdoctoral fellow. He is currently in the process of designing a project with Julie to investigate how the human brain turns decisions into actions using closed-loop transcranial magnetic stimulation and other bleeding-edge brain stimulation technologies.
