Dr. Lydia Federmann

Lydia’s research aims to improve our understanding of cognitive and neuropsychological functioning in both healthy and clinical populations. She is particularly interested in why some individuals maintain their cognitive performance well into older age, while others experience more rapid cognitive decline. To uncover this variability, Lydia uses subtyping approaches on longitudinal data and integrates data from neuropsychological tests, lifestyle, genetics, and health-related conditions. The insights gained from her research could help to identify individuals who are vulnerable to more severe changes in cognitive and neuropsychological health at an early stage.
