Welcome to my website!

I am a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Stirling and lead a research lab in the field of mobile cognition. Before this, I held a Sir Henry Wellcome Research Fellowship in the School of Psychology & Neuroscience at the University of Glasgow (2018-2023), where I also completed my PhD (2012-2017).

I lead the Stirling Open Research & Scholarship Network (SORS) and act as the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) Local Network Lead at the University of Stirling, where I support initiatives promoting reproducible analysis, open code, pre-registrations, and registered reports. Alongside this, I serve as a Recommender (Action Editor) for Peer Community in Registered Reports (PCI-RR) and PCI Psychology, a Consulting Editor for Cortex, and an Action Editor for the Neuropsychology section of Cogent Psychology.

My research interests are quite varied, but tend to centre around visuospatial attention. At present my research focuses on how being outside in nature and interacting with the environment supports and changes our attentional processes; using mobile EEG, mobile eye tracking, and qualitative interviews.

I am always happy to discuss collaborations and potential MSc or PhD projects. Please get in touch via Gemma.Learmonth@stir.ac.uk, Bluesky or LinkedIn.
