Monique completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) (Cognitive Neuroscience) in 2018 and is currently in the final year of her PhD within in the Cognitive Ageing and Impairment Neurosciences Lab (CAIN). Monique's research aims to characterize neural mechanisms of delirium vulnerability using electroencephalography (EEG). She is passionate about identifying methods of early delirium detection to improve patient outcomes.

Delirium is a neurocogntive disorder frequently present in acute care settings in older adults. It is typically characterised by a fluctuating disturbance in attention, arousal, awareness and cognition. Consequences of delirium include an 8 fold risk of dementia, long-term cognitive impairment and higher mortality. Cognition and consciousness require functional integration between different brain regions, and it is thought that functional brain disintegration preceeds delirium. My research therefore uses event related potentials and EEG power prior to common cardiac procedures (CABG & TAVI) to characterise delirium risk post-procdure.
