About Gideon:

Gideon Neidenmark is a PhD student in psychology at Örebro university. His thesis, broadly speaking, concerns aging, cognition and the brain.

Research:

Gideon conducts his research within the IDA-programme (Individual Development and Adaptation) which is a longitudinal project. It has been ongoing since 1965 and follows a cohort of individuals born in Örebro. He mostly works with the current ongoing follow-up study in the IDA-programme: “Early life determinants of successful cognitive and brain aging (IDA-Brain)”. In the follow-up study a sample of the participants in the IDA-programme are tested on their cognition and undergo fMRI. Gideons thesis is therefore about early predictors for cognition and brain structure/function later in life. The idea is to investigate whether it is possible to predict how these participants perform and are today based on these factors from their childhood. In Gideons research he both considers these participants subjective experience of their cognition as well as their objective performance and brain structure/function.
