I am a PhD student working on cognitive function in neurodegenerative diseases. My MPhil project established the nature of memory dysfunction and which elements of the memory process is most affected. I use cognitive examination batteries and brain imaging to determine the degree of impairment of cognitive processes and its structural and funtional causes. My PhD uses naturalistic stimuli to understand and measure executive cognitive dysfunction in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and similar disorders.
