معرفی
Roni Maimon Mor is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London. Their work bridges neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and biomedical engineering, focusing on vision science, neural plasticity, and human-technology interaction. They investigate how sensory deprivation (e.g., congenital sight impairment) and interventions (e.g., gene therapy) reshape neural processes and perceptual abilities.
Research interests include developmental vision, robotic prosthetics, and the cognitive embodiment of artificial limbs. Their studies explore how early life experiences influence motor learning and how neural systems adapt to sensory loss or technological augmentation. Mor’s interdisciplinary approach integrates neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, EEG), behavioral experiments, and engineering solutions like gaze-tracking systems for pediatric diagnostics.
Publications highlight advancements in gene therapy outcomes for retinal dystrophies, cortical plasticity in sensory-deprived populations, and neural correlates of prosthetic limb use. Their work contributes to clinical tools for vision assessment and theoretical models of body representation.
No scientific awards explicitly listed. Research is supported by collaborations in ophthalmology, robotics, and cognitive science. Mor’s lab at UCL focuses on translating neural findings into therapeutic and assistive technologies.
