Adam Zeman

Professor of Cognitive & Behavioral Neurology, Prinicipal Investigator

I trained in Medicine at Oxford University Medical School, after a first degree in Philosophy and Psychology. After junior posts in Oxford, London, Cambridge and Norwich, I moved to Edinburgh in 1996 as a Consultant Neurologist. Between February 2003 and August 2004 I was supported by a Health Foundation Mid-career Award, enabling an extended period of advanced training, service development and research with the aim of 'building bridges between neurology, psychology and psychiatry'. My specialised clinical work and research are in cognitive and behavioural neurology, including neurological disorders of sleep. My research interests include amnesia associated with epilepsy, the cognitive and neuropsychiatric consequences of cerebellar disease and disorders of visual imagery. I have an active background interest in the science and philosophy of consciousness. I moved to take up the Chair of Cognitive and Behavioural Neurology at the Peninsula Medical School in September 2005 and and until recently was the Chairman of the British Neuropsychiatry Association.
