(M/F) Reorganization of visuocognitive functions associated with peripheral vision and oculomotor behaviour during aging
Core
Investigate the reorganization of visuo-cognitive functions and abilities in older adults, specifically focusing on peripheral vision, object recognition, and saccade programming.
Role type
First-stage researcher (R1) in cognitive neuroscience and vision science
Builds
Research findings on age-related visual impairments and compensatory mechanisms
Domain
Neuroscience / Cognitive Psychology / Vision Science
