In the last five years, I have been awarded €1.5 million in competitive funding and published 27 peer-reviewed papers, with a further 6 manuscripts under review. My research has been covered in scientific editorials (e.g., Science, Nature, Journal of the American Medical Association) and the international media (Irish Times, Irish Independent, The BBC, Scientific American, The Times). My work has made ground-breaking contributions to the understanding of cognition and consciousness for vulnerable individuals with severely limited or unreliable motoric output. I was the first to develop a neuroimaging brain-computer interface using auditory attention (Naci et al. Annals of Neurology 2012) and found that a patient, who was clinically diagnosed as 'vegetative state' for 12 years, could correctly answer multiple questions by simply by attending to the word 'yes' or 'no' (Naci et al. Jama Neurology 2013). Subsequently, I showed that complex cognition in response to everyday events, could be decoded in single healthy individuals from brain activity (Naci et al. PNAS 2014; NeuroImage 2017), and demonstrated that a patient, clinically diagnosed as 'vegetative state' for 16 years, followed real-world events and felt emotion from moment to moment, similarly to healthy individuals. My work is being used to improve on the alarmingly high rates of misdiagnosis (~43%) and inform medical decision-making (Peterson et al. Neuroimage 2015). My translational work builds on my basic neuroscience studies on the brain mechanisms of conscious cognition (Naci et al. Scientific Reports 2018; MacDonald et al. Trends in Cognitive Science 2015; Naci et al., Journal of Neuroscience 2013). For this work, I have received the 'L'Oreal-UNESCO for Women in Science International Rising Talent' award and my work was featured in the textbook 'Cognitive Psychology: connecting mind, research, and everyday experience' (5th edition E. Bruce Goldstein 2018). My current research programme investigates cognition and consciousness in diverse populations that cannot use their behaviour to communicate, such as anaesthetized individuals (Luppi et al. Communications Biology 2022; Nature Communications 2019), advanced AD patients (Huntley et al. 2021, Alzheimer's and Dementia), sleep (Fogel et al. 2022), and newborn infants (Hu et al. 2022, Brain Communications).
