1. Respiratory influences on pupil size dynamics and visual recognition memory
Abstract : Breathing, a fundamental rhythm of life, has traditionally been associated with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. However, recent research in both animal models and humans has unveiled additional roles of respiration in modulating cortical neuronal activity, influencing sensory, motor, emotional, and cognitive processes.

2. A scattering study of concentrated lens protein solutions and mixtures - Towards understanding the molecular origin of presbyopia
Abstract : Healthy eye lenses are transparent and flexible, able to adapt shape in order to focus on far away and close-by objects. With age, however, this flexibility is lost, leading to a condition known as presbyopia. This vision disorder where close-by objects appear blurred commonly starts around the age of 40. READ MORE

3. Contours of Cognition
Abstract : This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. READ MORE

4. α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors in the Eye : Pharmacological and Functional Characterization
Abstract : α1- and α2-Adrenoceptors are involved in various physiological events in the eye: blood flow regulation, aqueous humor dynamics and pupil regulation. The α1- and α2-adrenoceptors can be further subdivided into six subtypes (α1A, α1B, α1D, α2A , α2B, and α2C ). READ MORE

5. Observing and influencing preferences in real time. Gaze, morality and dynamic decision-making
Abstract : Preference formation and choice are dynamic cognitive processes arising from interactions between decision-makers and their immediate choice environment. This thesis examines how preferences and decisions are played out in visual attention, captured by eye-movements, as well as in group contexts. READ MORE
