PhD candidiate, University of Canberra

PhD candidiate, University of Canberra I am a Phd Candidate in the university of canberra completing my thesis on the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon. I am currently in my last year and expected to complete my thesis in the next 5 months. SR is a phenonmenon in which optimal amounts of noise can enahnce the detection of a weak stimulus. I am researching how noise in the autistic brain (neural noise) can lead to enahnced peroformance in some coginitve task. I am also studying how we can artifically use visual noise to enhance vision in people with age related macular degeneration or AMD which is the leading cause of blindness in older populations across many nations such as Australia and the USA. My AMD project with SR is also currently undergoing a patent process which further showcases the novelty of my projrect. I was introduced to SR in my Psychology Honours year which I completed with a First class (7/7 GPA). I was also inducted in the Golden Key International Honour Society that year which is an orgianisaton that recognises high-achieving academics. I also run my own website https://neuropsyence.net where I and few other doctorate students write articles to spread scientific knowledge. SR is a topic that I am very interested in and passionate about and I am hoping that I can share my knowledge through the Conversation.
