Profile
Hanane Ramzaoui specializes in cognitive psychology, with a focus on visual attention and memory. Her research examines the influence of bottom-up and top-down processes on visual search in realistic scenes, both in young, healthy adults and in clinical populations, with applications to non-pathological aging and Alzheimer’s disease. She also investigates how perceptual grouping affects visual working memory capacity.
To address these questions, she primarily uses behavioral methods, eye tracking, and EEG/ERP measures. Hanane earned her PhD in psychology from Université Côte d’Azur (France) in December 2019. She subsequently worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the CNRS (Université Côte d’Azur) and at Louisiana State University (Baton Rouge), and served as a visiting assistant professor of psychology at Université Paris Cité (France). During her doctoral studies, she was also an adjunct professor at Université Côte d’Azur.
By joining SCANNlab, Hanane brings expertise in vision science, cognitive aging, and eye-tracking and EEG methodologies for the study of spatial navigation.
Fun fact: French by origin, Louisiana was her first U.S. stop, but surprisingly little French spoken there :) Now in Texas, she’s excited to be here and has long wanted to move to a state where “everything is bigger (and better)!”
