Dr Jamie Murray

I received my BSc in Psychology at Stirling in 2009 before commencing my PhD working with Prof. David Donaldson & Prof. Roger Watt to investigate the neural correlates of associative recognition memory. After obtaining my PhD in 2015, I worked as a research fellow in Stirling and a visiting fellow at Humboldt University in Berlin.

My research interests are primarily focused on how episodic memory changes across the lifespan. I’m also interested in associative memory and using new measurement techniques to assess retrieval precision. I often employ neuroimaging techniques such as electrophysiology and mobile electrophysiology to study human memory. Finally, I have experience using augmented reality as a tool to investigate ‘real world’ cognition.

I have taught on several modules, broadly covering cognition, memory, psychology in sport, and research methods at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

This has included: lecturing on the MSc Conversion course Human Cognition and the Human Brain; elective coordinator on my course "Psychology in Sport"; module coordinating on the the MSc "Research Methods in Psychology" course, and module coordinating the MSc "Research Placement" module.

I also supervise dissertations at the undergraduate and Master's level covering a broad range of topics including how social media influences episodic memory, investigating the neural correlates of episodic memory, employing virtual & mixed reality to study memory in natural settings, and investigating the use of virtual & mixed reality to distract people from painful events.
