Our research group studies the neurocognitive performance and neurobehavioural functioning in healthy and clinical population. Current research focuses on the area of ageing brains and their associated neuropsychological conditions. We are also developing methods that can help with early detection of age-related cognitive deficits and monitoring the progression of the deterioration.
