معرفی
Anna Guttesen is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, where she works under Prof Heidi Johansen-Berg and Dr Melanie Fleming in the Plasticity Group and OxCIN Neuroplastics Network.
Her academic background includes a PhD in Psychology from the University of York, supervised by Dr Scott Cairney and Prof Gareth Gaskell, with research focused on sleep-dependent declarative memory consolidation.
Dr. Guttesen's work centers on sleep neuroscience in clinical contexts, specifically investigating how stroke alters sleep-related memory consolidation processes and whether targeted memory reactivation can enhance recovery. Her research bridges cognitive neuroscience, clinical neurology, and sleep medicine through EEG-based studies of neural markers during sleep. She examines both fundamental mechanisms (e.g., neural signatures of learning) and clinical applications (e.g., sleep regularity as a biomarker for stroke rehabilitation).
Her recent publications demonstrate consistent output in high-impact journals, with work spanning memory reactivation paradigms, sleep disturbances in neurological populations, and neural correlates of learning. As a postdoctoral researcher, she contributes to the Plasticity Group's grant-funded projects at the Wellcome Centre, focusing on translating sleep neuroscience discoveries into stroke rehabilitation strategies. Students collaborating with her gain expertise in EEG methodology, sleep monitoring, and clinical neuroscience research within Oxford's world-class neuroimaging infrastructure.
