Peter Jones FMedSci, FRCP, FRCPsych is a British psychiatrist notable for his work on the epidemiology and management of mental illness.[1] He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Cambridge and Deputy Head of the School of Clinical Medicine, University of Cambridge.[2]
Career and research
[edit]Jones completed a Bachelor of Science degree in anatomy and neuroscience as an undergraduate at King’s College, London, before qualifying in medicine from Westminster Medical School (now part of the Imperial College School of Medicine).[2] He completed a PhD focusing on psychiatry at King's College London in 1990 supervised by Robert Kerwin.[3]
After becoming interested in neuroscience as an undergraduate, Jones completed his medical training at the Bethlem Royal Hospital, the Maudsley Hospital and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in London before being appointed in 1993 as Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Psychiatrist at the King's College London Institute of Psychiatry.
In 1997 he took up the Chair of Psychiatry in Nottingham, moving to Cambridge in 2000.
Scott started her research career in Cambridge at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, formerly known as the Applied Psychology Unit.[citation needed] She returned to UCL as a Research Fellow in 1998.[citation needed] She was awarded a Wellcome Trust Fellowship in 2001 and has been funded by them since.[citation needed] As of 2017[update] she holds a Wellcome Trust Senior Fellowship.[citation needed] She is a member of the British Psychological Society, the Society for Neuroscience, the Cognitive Neuroscience Society, and the Experimental Psychology Society.[citation needed]
Scott is head of the Speech Communication Group[4] at UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. Her research investigates the neural basis of vocal communication – how our brains process the information in speech and voices,[5] and how our brains control the production of our voice.[6][7][8][9][10] Within this, her research covers the roles of streams of processing in auditory cortex, hemispheric asymmetries,[11] and the interaction of speech processing with attentional and working memory factors.[12] Other interests include individual differences in speech perception and plasticity in speech perception, since these are important factors for people with cochlear implants. She is also interested in the expression of emotion in the voice.[13] In particular, research in recent[when?] years has focused on the neuroscience of laughter.[citation needed]
and Wellcome Trust Principal Investigator with the NeuroScience in Psychiatry Network, a joint venture with University College London (UCL).[14] Her research investigates the cognitive neuroscience of voices, speech and laughter particularly speech perception, speech production, vocal emotions and human communication.[6][7][8] She also serves as Deputy Director of UCL's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience.[15]
Awards and honours
[edit]She has spoken at the TED conference[when?][16] and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 2016 and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences (FMedSci) in 2012.[14][17] Her citation on election to the Academy of Medical Sciences reads:
| “ | She has drawn together theories and techniques from speech sciences, psychology and primate neuroanatomy in order to understand how the human brain processes speech. Her work was the first to identify that the early perceptual processing of speech parallels the perception of conspecific calls in non-human primate brains. This has contributed to our understanding of recovery from aphasic stroke. She has applied this work to hearing loss, with particular reference to how people can adapt to cochlear implantation. She is now extending her work to understanding the social aspects of communication.[17] | ” |
