Trevor Crawford

Professor Trevor Crawford is a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging at the Department of Psychology, Lancaster University, with over 30 years of experience. He serves as Deputy Director of the Crawford Neuropsychology Research Lab, which focuses on age-related neurological disorders.

• Alzheimer's Disease
• Parkinson's Disease
• Schizophrenia
• Dyslexia
• Visual Attention & Face Perception
• Neurovascular Dynamics

His research combines eye-tracking paradigms, EEG, and fNIRS to study cognitive control mechanisms across healthy aging and pathological states. Recent work includes collaborations with Oxford University on Parkinson’s disease, Chinese institutions on long COVID impacts, and Physics Department colleagues on neurovascular synchronization.

Article trends since 2025 show focus on biomarker development through eye movement analysis, neurovascular coherence in Alzheimer’s, and auditory-cognitive links in Parkinson’s. His lab also explores visual expertise as a protective factor against perceptual illusions.

Notable collaborations include Professor Aneta Stefanovska (Physics), Dr. Juliane Bjerkan, and Professor Chris Plack. Media coverage spans 50+ press mentions since 2012, including Newsweek and Daily Mail features on early Alzheimer’s detection via eye tests.
