Professor Dr. Ida Caspersen

Biography

Ida Dyhr Caspersen is an external lecturer at the University of Copenhagen, where her research primarily focuses on the cognitive profiles of children with ADHD. Her work aims to enhance future diagnostics and treatment through innovative analytical methods, particularly the Theory of Visual Attention (TVA), developed under the guidance of Professor Claus Bundesen. The TVA computational model serves as a critical framework for unraveling the perceptual components of visual attention, such as visual processing speed and reactions related to response time. Caspersen's main thesis project investigates children aged 8 to 12 with ADHD and clinical controls, including children on the autism spectrum. Additionally, her side projects explore the impacts of auditory white noise on visual processing in children with ADHD and assess the cognitive profiles of children with spina bifida myelomeningocele. She has collaborated extensively over the past five years, contributing significantly to research in visual attention and ADHD, and maintains a presence in scholarly networks.
