She is currently involved in the following projects:
1. Characterising the effect of methamphetamine and alcohol on driving behaviour and performance
This project will provide vital information of how several behavioural, cognitive and neurobehavioural indices are affected following combined alcohol and d¬methamphetamine use, and will show at the effect of these combined drugs on a number of complex driving processes. This will be achieved through a within subjects, double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over counterbalanced trial, which will assess the direct effect of combined usage of legal doses of alcohol combined with d-methamphetamine (0.42mg/kg) in measures of higher-order cognitive and neurobehavioural functioning, driving performance and ocular activity. This trial will involve four experimental conditions: alcohol (placebo: 0.00% BAC; active: 0.04% BAC) and d-methamphetamine (placebo; active).
