👋 Hi, I'm Sara Barbu

🎓 Master’s student in Psychology at Université de Montréal
🧠 Working at the Douglas Research Centre (Montembeault Lab)
💬 Focused on social cognitive processes and their evolution in normal aging
🌍 Passionate about cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology and healthy and pathological aging research


🎓 Academic Background

  • B.Sc. in Cognitive Neuroscience – Université de Montréal
    Specialized in neuropsychology, with a strong interest in brain–behavior relationships and cognitive aging.
  • Currently completing a research-based Master’s focused on social cognitive functioning in older adults, supervised by Dr. Maxime Montembeault.

🧠 Current Research

At the Douglas Research Centre, I study how aging influences social cognitive abilities such as theory of mind and emotion recognition, using neuropsychological and behavioral assessments with French-Canadian participants across adulthood, including healthy older adults.

🖼️ Images10K Project

Co-led with Dre. Lune Bellec as part of Brainhack School 2025, Images10K is an open-source visual dataset built to explore human object and animal categorization. The dataset was developed to study how people classify and interpret visual stimuli — topics relevant to semantic processing, object recognition, and categorization research.

You can explore it here:
