Dr. Anne Sophie Champod is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Acadia University. She is also a registered psychologist in Nova Scotia. Her current program of research focuses on various topics within the field of clinical neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience. Her research has aimed to better understand the neuronal basis of attention and working memory processes with the ultimate goal of developing new assessment techniques and rehabilitation interventions to improve cognitive functioning in neurological populations. Current research work involves the development of new assessment tools and interventions targeting spatial attention skills that are frequently affected in stroke. For example, Dr. Champod has been working on the development of a home-based and game-like prism adaptation procedure for the treatment of spatial attention deficits. Another line of research has focused on the development of a software allowing an ecologically valid assessment of voluntary and automatic attention orienting skills. This software is currently being used to study the development of attention skills across the lifespan.
