Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College

My research focuses on the functioning of the human brain and its breakdown after brain lesions. In particular, I am interested in how the brain prioritizes relevant information while filtering out irrelevant information. To identify the brain regions involved and map out their dynamics, I combine neuropsychological studies in patients with acquired brain disorders, with non-invasive brain-imaging methods (MEG, fMRI).

In my current research, I aim at characterising the temporal dynamics of spatial attention in the healthy human brain, and at examining how focal brain lesions alter these dynamics. My research may shed light on the neuronal signatures of cognitive deficits commonly observed in patients with stroke.

As well as being a key member of the “Mind, Brain and Behaviour Cluster” at Wolfson college, I am affiliated to the Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity (OHBA) and the Oxford Cognitive Neuropsychology Centre (CNC).
