Rate My Professor Juanita Todd

Todd's research investigates how perception and cognition are constrained by neural processes and individual differences, with a focus on schizophrenia and normal brain function. Utilizing clinical, neuropsychological, psychophysical, pharmacological, and neuroimaging methods, including mismatch negativity (MMN), she explores auditory processing, predictive inference, relevance filtering, and perceptual learning. Her contributions include highly cited works such as 'Deviant matters: duration, frequency, and intensity deviants reveal different patterns of mismatch negativity reduction in early and late schizophrenia' (Biological Psychiatry, 2008), 'Making sense of mismatch negativity' (Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020), 'Duration mismatch negativity in biological relatives of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders' (Biological Psychiatry, 2002), 'Duration and frequency mismatch negativity in schizophrenia' (Clinical Neurophysiology, 2000), and 'Gray matter deficits, mismatch negativity, and outcomes in schizophrenia' (Schizophrenia Bulletin, 2011). She has garnered awards including Distinction to her PhD Thesis (University of Western Australia, 2001), UWA Convocation Medal (1990), Dux (1990), and Best Debut Oral Presentation Awards (1999 and 1997 from the Australasian Society for Psychiatric Research).
