Biography

Amy completed her degree and masters in Neuroscience at the University of Sussex in 2022, and has since been a Neuroimaging and Clinical Research Assistant in the Trafford Centre for Medical Research in both the Colasanti and Eccles research laboratories. Here, she investigates the effects of cerebral hypoperfusion on consciousness (in terms of breathwork and brain fog in patients).

Research

Amy is particularly interested in research in clinical populations using neuroimaging, in order to develop novel, non-pharmacological therapeutics that incorporate both the brain and body to reduce symptoms. She is also interested in the physiological impacts of breathwork and its resulting impact on consciousness.
