Miss Zoie E. Nott (lab alumnus)

Position: Former Research Assistant

Zoie left us in December 2016 to take up a position at the QIMR Berghofer medical research institute.

Research while in the Mattingley Lab

I manage a project that investigates potential changes in cognitive functioning after stroke. I conduct a range of neuropsychological tests with patients who have suffered an acute stroke and correlate their scores with the location of the lesion. Patients are recruited from the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital as well as the Princess Alexandra Hospital. I also coordinate follow on research with the stroke patients to examine specific deficits in language, perception, mobility and social wellbeing.

Research interests

Stroke Patients
Structural Lesion Mapping and Voxel-Based Lesion Symptom Mapping (VLSM)
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
Neuropsychological Testing
