Summer Sheremata is a cognitive neuroscientist and former Assistant Professor of Psychology at Florida Atlantic University. Her research focuses on how the brain helps us pay attention to and remember visual information—allowing us to stay focused and make sense of the world around us.
Dr. Sheremata’s work combines psychology, neuroscience, and brain imaging techniques to better understand how we interact with the visual environment. Her studies have explored connections between fundamental brain processes and clinical conditions such as hemispatial neglect, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia. By exploring these questions, her research helps build a clearer picture of how the brain supports everyday tasks like reading, navigating, and maintaining attention—and how these processes can go awry in clinical populations.
