Supervisor
Daniel Stoljar
Victoria McGeer
Colin Klein
Michelle Banfield
Research Questions
(1) How does consciousness differ during psychosis to that of the normal waking state?

Whose research influences you?
Tim Bayne
Are you a lived-experience researcher?
Yes
If so, how does lived or consumer experience shape your research?
1) Motivates me to understand my experience of psychosis and other peoples experiences of psychosis.
2) Motivates me to seek alternative ways of understanding mental illness (beyond the biomedical model) and to hope that new understanding lead to better treatment options.
