dr. A.D. Barsingerhorn (Annemiek)

As Graduate School coordinator of the Donders Institute I am responsible for facilitating and developing a wide variety of activities related to the PhD programme of the Donders Graduate School. In addition I am responsible for policy development and provide support for individual PhD candidates or supervisors who encounter difficulties.

During my time as PhD candidate and postdoc my research focused on eye-head coordination towards multisensory stimuli. I'm interested in how healthy humans are able to locate stimuli of different modalities, how we optimally control our eyes and head to redirect our gaze to relevant stimuli, and on how sensory impairments and neurodegenerative diseases impact the oculomotor system. In addition, I have been working on developing and implementing new eye tracking methods.
