Benjamin T. Dunkley

Biography

Dr. Benjamin Dunkley studied at Cardiff University, UK, where he completed his PhD thesis on the role of cortical oscillations in oculomotor control and vision motion perception using MEG. This was then followed by a postdoc at York University, Toronto, where he used fMRI and TMS to study transaccadic integration and spatiotopic representation in the dorsal visual stream. This was in turn followed by a second postdoc at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) with Drs. Margot Taylor and Elizabeth Pang, which involved the study of clinical population using MEG to characterise aberrant functional (spectral) connectivity in psychological (PTSD) and physical (mTBI) trauma, during cognition and task-free resting-state. He now works at SickKids as a Clinical Associate, using MEG to study changes in brain functional connectivity related to a variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions.
