My research focuses on cognitive impairments in neurological populations, with a focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). In my research, I utilize eye-tracking methodologies, as well as traditional neuropsychological, visual and motor assessments to examine the impact of sensorial, cognitive and motor impairments on performance of traditional neuropsychological tests. Only by fully understanding the etiology of the deficits associated with MS and SCI will we be able to develop efficient rehabilitation programs and accurately identify individuals at higher risk of developing impairments. My current research is funded by the Mary Switzer Merit Fellowship Award from the National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, and the State of New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research.
