معرفی
Nele Demeyere is Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Oxford, leading the Translational Neuropsychology Group within the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. She holds an NIHR Advanced Fellowship and a Stroke Association Wolfson Lectureship. Her research focuses on cognitive impairments post-stroke and dementia, particularly visuo-spatial neglect and executive dysfunction. She developed the Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS), a widely used stroke-specific cognitive assessment tool with over 1,100 licensed clinical sites globally.
Demeyere’s work bridges fundamental cognitive neuroscience with clinical applications, including lesion-mapping studies and longitudinal cohort analyses of stroke recovery. She leads three NIHR-funded studies and chairs the Cognitive Screening programme at the John Radcliffe Hospital. Her group investigates neuroanatomical correlates of neglect, cognitive trajectories in chronic stroke survivors (OX-CHRONIC study), and mental capacity assessments in dementia.
Her academic roles include past coordination of undergraduate admissions across Oxford’s 20 colleges for Experimental Psychology and Psychology courses (2016–2021), and St Anne’s College stipendiary lecturer (2012–2021). Awards include the Stroke Association Wolfson Lectureship and NIHR Advanced Fellowship.
