Biography
Dr Nick Cunniffe graduated from Cambridge University with degrees in neuroscience and medicine. After completing junior years in Cambridge, he is now undertaking specialist training in London, while lecturing neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and continuing to conduct research with Prof. Carpenter who was originally invited to this meeting, but prevented from travelling by a medical condition: Dr Cunniffe is representing him. Roger Carpenter is Emeritus Professor of Oculomotor Physiology at Cambridge, and directed medical studies for many years at Gonville and Caius College. Well known as the author of the classic Movements of the Eyes, he has published many papers using eye movements to study decision mechanisms of the brain (the LATER model) and their clinical applications. He is also the author of the highly successful Neurophysiology, now in its fifth edition.
