Chris Moulin is a lecturer in Cognitive Neuropsychology at the University of Leeds.

Moulin is known for his work in the field of déjà vu which he conducts with his former PhD student Akira O’Connor (who now works at Washington University in St Louis). Both psychologists have appeared in BBC radio broadcasts and featured heavily in quality papers in Britain and elsewhere, such as The Guardian,[1] the New York Times Magazine,[2] New Scientist[3] and Der Spiegel.

Moulin completed his PhD ("Does a metacognitive deficit contribute to the episodic memory impairment in Alzheimer's disease?") at Bristol University in 1999 under the supervision of Tim Perfect and Alan Baddeley. He then held various Research Fellowships at the Universities of Bristol, Reading and at a Clinical Research Institute at Bath (RICE) before joining the Institute of Psychological Sciences, University of Leeds as a lecturer in March 2002.

Moulin is a chartered psychologist. He is on the British Psychological Society's Research Board and is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Research Institute for the Care of the Elderly (RICE), St. Martin's Hospital, Bath. In 2004 and 2005 Moulin organised the BPS Cognitive Section Conference, held in Leeds. He is on the editorial board of the journal Memory.

Déjà vécu

Moulin's current research interests focus on neuropsychological impairments of memory. In particular, he is interested in the interaction of executive function and long-term memory. Research themes include metacognition, inhibition, and the sensations of memory (déjà vu). Dr. Moulin has been very involved in researching and making people aware of déjà vécu, a rare disorder of memory, similar to persistent déjà vu.[4]
