Profile

Dénes Szücs is a cognitive psychologist specializing in the methodology of cognitive electrophysiology. He is a lecturer in the Faculty of Education and a research fellow at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Department of Psychophysiology, Research Institute for Psychology). His current research examines the cognitive electrophysiology of number processing and arithmetic disabilities (dyscalculia). Current main lines of investigation are research on the detection and evaluation of numerical errors, the role of stimulus presentation modality in arithmetic operations and dyscalculia.
