Professor Holly Bridge completed an MA in Psychology & Physiology at University of Oxford, following by an MSc in Neuroscience at University of Edinburgh and a DPhil in Neurophysiology. As a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin and then University Research Fellow, she established her own research group at what was then the Oxford Centre for fMRI of the Brain in the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

Holly’s main research programme uses non-invasive human brain imaging alongside behavioural testing to understand the organisation of the visual system in people with normal vision and those who have abnormal visual function. In particular, she has extensive experience in investigating binocular vision and its disruption in amblyopia (lazy eye) and understanding residual visual capacity (or blindsight) following stroke to the visual system.

Alongside her core work on the human visual system, Holly has been actively involved in public engagement throughout her career, most recently in the Football on the Brain project that aims to educate a wide audience about Neuroscience through football.
