Dan Kennedy-Higgins is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King's College London. His research focuses on understanding the cognitive neural mechanisms involved in successful perception of clear speech, particularly mechanisms that cause speech to become distorted due to the presence of background noise. He utilizes behavioral, neuroimaging, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) research paradigms to investigate these topics. Additionally, he explores the extent of automatic written word processing and the role of orthographic and phonological similarity in relation to the Stroop interference effect. Dan also conducts pedagogical research that examines factors contributing to academic progress, with a specific focus on the role of language proficiency.
