Profile

Biography

I previously completed my BSc in Psychology at the University of York. For my BSc project I investigated how binocular summation of activity in the visual cortex and reflexive eye movements are affected in individuals with cortical blindness and amblyopia, using EEG and eye tracking. During this time, I also assisted with multiple different projects taking place in the EEG lab and neuroimaging centre, assessing cortical responses to scene aesthetics and visual symmetry respectively.
