Edward de Haan is Professor of Neuropsychology and Scientific Director of the Donders Institute at the Radboud University in Nijmegen, in addition, to honorary research chairs at the Universities of Amsterdam and Nottingham.
His research interests range from applied clinical neuropsychological issues to fundamental neuroscience, particularly visual and somatosensory perception, memory, emotion, and consciousness. His work on the (preconscious) processes involved in the perception of faces, colour and brightness has attracted considerable attention. He published extensively on the neurocognitive basis of hallucinations in neurological and psychiatric populations. His clinical research has focused on the neuropsychological sequalae of stroke, diabetes mellitus, and schizophrenia. His clinical studies demonstrated the viability, reliability and prognostic value of neuropsychological assessment in the acute phase after stroke.
At St. Hugh’s, he works on the data held in the College Archive on the follow-up programme on ex-servicemen who incurred a head injury during WWII. During the eighties and nineties, when he was a researcher in the MRC Neuropsychology of the old Radcliff Infirmary, he carried out studies on these men.
