Psychologist and PhD-student

I am accredited psychologist with a degree in clinical psychology from University of Oslo (cand. psychol) and a BA in psychology from COGS at University of Sussex (Brighton, UK). My areas of main interest today are: Clinical neuropsychology, cognitive rehabilitation/remediation/training, brain connectivity and plasticity, and rehabilitation psychology.

My PhD-project, Cognitive rehabilitation flowing acquired brain injury, focuses on
Cognitive rehabilitation: 1) The effect of computer-based cognitive training in acute rehabilitation following acquired brain injury (ABI), and 2) possible advantages of errorless learning in brain injury rehabilitation.

Brain plasticity: Structural changes and re-organisation in the brain following acquired brain injury (mainly TBI/traumatic brain injury and stroke) measured by sMRI at the onset of acute rehabilitation and after (collaboration with Kristine Walhovd and Anders Fjell).

Psychological symptoms and illness following ABI

The project takes place in collaboration with The Department of Research and Ward of brain injury rehabilitation at Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital.

Supervisors: Nils-Inge Landrø (Department of Psychology, UiO) and Anne-Kristine Schanke (Sunnaas Rehabilitation Hospital).
