Dr Valdas Noreika, • BA in Philosophy • MSc in Neurobiology • PhD in Psychology • Fellow of the Higher Education Academy Senior Lecturer in Psychology (T&R)Email: v.noreika@qmul.ac.ukRoom Number: Fogg 2.03ProfileTeachingResearchProfileAfter obtaining a BA in Philosophy and an MSc in Neurobiology at Vilnius University, Lithuania, I earned a PhD in Psychology, focusing on altered states of consciousness and temporal distortions, under the supervision of Prof. Antti Revonsuo and Prof. Katja Valli at the University of Turku, Finland. After securing a European Mobility grant from the Volkswagen Foundation, I continued researching the neurodevelopment of time processing at the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity, working under the supervision of Prof. Christine Falter-Wagner and Prof. Kia Nobre. Since then, I moved to Cambridge, where I joined Dr Tristan Bekinschtein’s Consciousness and Cognition Lab, first at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit and later at the Department of Psychology, where I investigated wake-sleep transitions. Having had two other short postdoc projects, one on the kinaesthetic awareness when falling asleep at the Queensland Brain Institute, Australia (working with Prof. Jason Mattingley) and another on the neural mechanisms of infant-parent interaction at the University of Cambridge (Prof. Victoria Leong), I remained in Cambridge to carry out my own project on the neural correlates of religious and moral beliefs, funded by the John Templeton Foundation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I started working as a Lecturer in Psychology (T&R) at the Queen Mary University of London, where I established the Sleep and Cognition Lab.Undergraduate TeachingPSY340 – The Science of ConsciousnessPostgraduate TeachingPSY715P – Cognitive NeuroscienceResearchResearch Interests:See Valdas Noreika’s research profile pages including details of research interests, publications, and live grants.
