Dr. Heidi Baseler is a Senior Lecturer in Imaging Sciences at the Hull York Medical School and the Department of Psychology , University of York . She serves as INSPIRE Programme Lead for undergraduate research and contributes to research governance and public/patient involvement in research through committees like the York Neuroimaging Centre Research Governance Committee and Involvement@York . Education : AB in Biology/Psychology from Dartmouth College (1986), PhD in Vision Science from University of California, Berkeley (1995) Career : Research Fellow at Stanford, Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, and University of York; Lecturer in Imaging Sciences at Hull York Medical School (2012-2021) Her research focuses on neural mechanisms for central/peripheral vision processing, cortical responses to sensory loss (e.g., AMD, deafness), and neuroprotective strategies like photobiomodulation. Techniques include structural and functional MRI , magnetic resonance spectroscopy , multifocal EEG , and electroretinography . Key findings include cortical reorganization in macular degeneration and superior visual performance in deaf adults. Recent article trends highlight: Neuroimaging biomarkers for AMD progression Cross-modal plasticity in deaf individuals Long-term effects of sensory deprivation on brain structure Photobiomodulation for neurodegeneration Functional connectivity in face-selective regions Contrast perception dynamics across aging Scientific awards include: Exceptional Contribution to Student Experience Finalist , Hull York Medical School (2024) Pursuing Excellence Award , Hull York Medical School (2023) Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Award , University of York (2020) Multiple Teacher of Excellence Finalist recognitions (2016-2018) She teaches undergraduate medical students in Foundations of Medicine and Neurological Diseases , and supervises MSc Cognitive Neuroscience projects. Collaborations span institutions like University of Hull , University of Lille , and University of Regensburg . Current students include Sharyfah Alasiri (PhD, Biomedical Sciences) and Erin English (PhD, Psychology) at the University of York.
