Janneke van Leeuwen

Dr. Janneke van Leeuwen is a social neuroscientist and honorary research fellow at University College London’s Queen Square Institute of Neurology. Her research focuses on how aging affects color perception, revealing that older adults often perceive colors as less vibrant than younger individuals. In her 2023 study, she investigated the neural mechanisms behind these changes, demonstrating that the differences in color perception may stem from the brain's processing rather than merely the eyes' capabilities.
