Research summary
Dr Carson's general interest is in disorders that lie at the borderland between clinical psychiatry and neurology. He is particularly interested in the inter-relationship between brain, behaviour and health beliefs. Clinically he runs a neurorehabilitation service that specialises in behavioural modification following brain injury but from a research perspective he has used similar principles to examine and treat functional neurological symptoms.
