Research Interest

I am a doctoral student in the Emmy Noether Group. The goal of my research is to understand mechanisms of visual learning and how they change over the life span. My particular interest is in the underlying neural mechanisms of visual learning in older adults compared to younger adults and children. I hope that my research will contribute to a better understanding of the neural mechanisms of learning and brain plasticity.
