I researched visual and cognitive function in stroke survivors for my PhD using eye movement methodology at the University of Southampton. I then went on to investigate the effect of cycling on cognitive function in older adults at the University of Reading for my first postdoc. I am now conducting a study to predict dementia and cognitive deficits in Parkinson's through visual and imaging measures at the Institute of Neurology at UCL.
