I have written >120 peer reviewed papers, 60 chapters and given >180 invited lectures.
My main research area has been in severe sensory loss and motor control, with research from sensory evoked potentials to perception and motor control without peripheral sensory feedback to gesture and more philosophical aspects of living without sensation. Collaborators include Chris Miall (Birmingham), Fabrice Sarlegna (Marseilles), Shaun Gallagher (Memphis) and David McNeill (Chicago).

Much of this work has been with a single participant, Ian Waterman (IW), who lives without the sensations of touch and movement/position. I first met IW in the mid 1980’s and have been working with him since. He is also the subject of two of my books.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge his huge contribution and that of GL, a similar participant from Canada.
I have been a Visiting Professor, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Research and Education, since 2003-
I have been involved in projects on virtual reality and phantom limb pain, alternative sensory substitution, facial recognition and now on a point of care neuropathy device.
I also lecture masters students on Neuroscience and the first person and on dementia.
A selection of peer reviewed papers on various topics:

Force and effort.
These papers established that IW and a similar participant GL, had no awareness of the force or effort he produced, i.e. not consciousness of his motor output, but could judge weights with eyes open through careful attention to the effects of a planned motor command.

Sensory mechanisms in absence of large, myelinated nerve fibres.
IW and GL retain pain and temperature sensation, since their neuropathy appears to affect only large, myelinated fibres. This has led to a number of papers on their residual sensory function.

Body Image/Body Schema.
The body image and body schema are concepts of theoretical interest, rather than being neuroscienticfic terms. In this much cited paper, Shaun Gallagher and I made the case for IW’s paucity of schema without feedback, and its partial replacement by a modified body image.

Gesture.
IW’s gesture has been a long standing area of interest. Since he has replaced unconscious motor habits with cognitive control of movement, how far does this apply to that most expressive of movements, gesture?

Ecological action.
More recently in a series of experiments with Chris Miall and others in Birmingham, we have tried to investigate more ecologically salient actions in IW and other deafferented participants.

Pain Research.
In Southampton I was a research fellow looking at whether at a technique called spinal cord stimulation might be useful for pain after spinal cord injury. We concluded it as not from our clinical results and for physiological reasons.

This paper, from much later, showed that virtual re-embodiment, with recovery of perceived sensation and agency towards a missing limb is associated with reduced phantom limb pain.
