Professor Dr. Linda Geerligs

Biography

Linda Geerligs conducts research on the dynamics of brain function, focusing on how brain functions change across stages of adult life. Her work examines the ways in which brain processes manage the continuous flow of information and divide it into meaningful units. As an associate professor at the Donders Institute, her research aims to understand the dynamics of brain function across different timescales. This includes investigations into how brain function dynamically reorganizes during the lifespan and the mechanisms that enable older adults to preserve high levels of cognitive function despite age-related declines in brain structure. Additionally, she explores daily life experiences, focusing on how brain segments integrate information over time around meaningful events and neural states. Her research group, Dynamic Naturalistic Cognitive Neuroscience, emphasizes the importance of understanding cognitive functions across various contexts.
