About me

  • Combination employment (kombinationsanställning) as Associate professor and
    research group leader at Marianne Bernadotte Centrum, Karolinska Institutet
    and optometrist at the Neuro-ophthalmology department at St Erik Eye
    Hospital.

Research

  • The theme of my research is vision physiology and eye movement control. I use
    eye movements as a method to understand how the brain works in health and how
    vision is affected by a brain injury. The projects listed below focus on:
    1) description of the typical eye movement response to head movements
    (vestibular) and visual motion (vision) in healthy individuals.
    2) description of visual vertigo (hypersensitivity to the visual motion of
    the visual field) by analyzing the typical eye movement response to visual
    motion stimulation in the healthy person. The studies will continue on
    patients suffering from visual vertigo with a start in 2020.
    3) map the neural mechanisms for how visual and vestibular stimulation are
    integrated at the brainstem level. This project takes place in collaboration
    with the Sten Grillner laboratories at the Department of Neurology, KI.
    4) how we by vision rehabilitation of brain-injured patients can regain
    visual functions lost to return to school and work. These projects take place
    in collaboration with Rehabilitation Medicine for Brain Injuries at Danderyd
    Hospital.
