Prof. Irina Shoshina, Saint-Petersburg state University, Russia
Irina I. Shoshina, Ph.D., is a distinguished Doctor of Biological Sciences and Professor at the Institute for Cognitive Research at St. Petersburg State University. She completed her dissertation at the Pavlov Institute of Physiology PAS in 2015, focusing on “The Global and Local Mechanisms for the Analysis of Visual Information in Normal Subjects and in Schizophrenia.” Her research spans visual perception physiology, changes in perception under extreme conditions, and psychopathology. She has led and participated in various biomedical experiments, including analog studies of “dry” immersion with and without stimulation. Dr. Shoshina has authored over 85 publications, with recent works addressing topics such as visual contrast sensitivity, ocular microtremor, and cognitive functioning in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Her significant contributions include studies on eye movements and fatigue detection, as well as the impact of medication on cognitive effects. For more information.
Professional Profile:
Summary of Suitability for Top Researcher Award
Her research covers significant areas in visual perception, extreme environments, and psychopathology. These fields are crucial for advancing our understanding of cognitive and sensory processes.She has authored over 85 publications, with many appearing in high-impact journals. Recent articles include work on visual contrast sensitivity, cognitive functioning in schizophrenia, and fatigue detection based on eye movements. Her work is widely recognized, evidenced by numerous publications in Q1 and Q2 journals.
Education:
- Doctor of Biological Sciences: Shoshina holds a Ph.D. from the Pavlov Institute of Physiology, PAS. She completed her dissertation in 2015 with the topic: “The Global and Local Mechanism for the Analyses of Visual Information in Normal Subjects and in Schizophrenia.” This research centered around visual perception physiology, particularly focusing on changes in visual perception under extreme conditions and in psychopathological states such as schizophrenia.
Work Experience:
- Professor, Institute for Cognitive Research: Shoshina is a professor at St. Petersburg State University, where she is actively engaged in research related to cognitive science, visual perception, and physiological responses in extreme environments.
- Principal Investigator: Shoshina has led numerous studies, including analog experiments simulating extreme conditions like “dry” immersion, with or without different stimulations. Her research frequently explores visual perception changes and cognitive functioning, especially in the context of altered gravity, fatigue, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder.
- Co-Investigator: She has also worked as a co-investigator in various biomedical experiments, extending her expertise into interdisciplinary collaborations.
- Publications and Research: Shoshina has authored more than 85 scientific publications, focusing on visual contrast sensitivity, ocular microtremors, cognitive functions in psychopathological conditions, and the effects of environmental extremes on perception and cognition.
