Andrew V. Frane serves as Visiting Assistant Professor of Psychology at Occidental College, Lecturer of Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Lecturer at the Colburn Conservatory of Music where he teaches the Psychology of Music and Sound.
His academic credentials include:
- B.A. and M.A. from California State University, Los Angeles
- Ph.D. in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience emphasis) from the University of California, Los Angeles under Martin Monti
Dr. Frane's research examines how musical rhythms are cognitively and emotionally processed, investigating auditory illusions and the statistical challenges of multiple comparisons in behavioral science. His work uniquely integrates psychological theory with methodological rigor to advance understanding of auditory perception and music cognition, while actively promoting improved statistical practices across scientific disciplines.
He teaches undergraduate courses in psychology, research methods, statistics, and computer programming, extending his expertise to conservatory education through specialized music psychology instruction. Office hours are held Tuesdays and Thursdays 2PM-3PM in Swan Hall #331 at Occidental College or by appointment.
No scientific awards or fellowships are documented in the provided materials, though his research profile demonstrates significant contributions to interdisciplinary scholarship at the intersection of music and statistics.
While student advising details are unspecified, his faculty roles imply mentorship of undergraduate researchers. The absence of grant or laboratory references suggests focus on theoretical and methodological work rather than lab-based experimentation.
