Josephine Nilsson

I was born in Sweden and spent 11 years in the USA studying and working.

2010 - 2014: Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice and Psychology at St. Cloud State University, Minnesota, USA (with a heavy focus on policing, human development, and research methodology).

2014 - 2017: I worked in Chicago, IL, USA as a vision therapist and optical assistant.

2017 - 2022: I worked as an optical assistant at multiple branches of Specsavers in the Stockholm region.

2020 - 2022: Master of Science in Psychology at Stockholm University (with a heavy focus on neuropsychology, visual perception, and research methodology and analysis).

2022 - present: Research assistant at Karolinska Institute.

I am interested in how the visual system can affect quality of life and perception.

I have primarily worked with eye tracking data associated with healthy individuals and those recovering from mild head trauma.

I also have an interest in attention and would like to expand my eye tracking research to include those with behavioral disorders and cognitive decline.
