Dr. Martin Arguin

Biography

Martin Arguin is a Professor at the University of Montreal, specializing in cognitive aspects of visual processing. His research centers around understanding how normal individuals and those with brain injuries perceive visual information. Arguin aims to identify the normal mechanisms involved in visual processing, while also characterizing the functional deficits that arise from brain damage. He employs both behavioral and electrophysiological methods in his studies. His current projects explore multiple themes such as reading and visuospatial attention, focusing on how these processes relate to recognizing written words and understanding visual object properties. Throughout his academic career, he has supervised numerous graduate theses, contributing to the field's understanding of visual processing across various contexts, including healthy aging and neurodevelopmental disorders. His research interests lie within cognitive neuroscience, particularly in areas like attention, visual pathology, and cognitive training. Additionally, Arguin collaborates with other researchers to enhance the understanding of visual perception across different conditions and populations.
