Dr. Benjamin Dering is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Stirling, UK. His research focuses on visual perception, particularly face categorization and symmetry detection using ERP techniques. He has investigated alcohol's impact on neurodevelopment and cognition, including memory blackouts and neurotoxic mechanisms. Previously, he worked at the Salk Institute studying Williams syndrome and served as a Research Fellow and Lecturer at Staffordshire University.
His key research themes include contextual learning in humans, visual perception distortions under alcohol influence, and the pathophysiology of alcohol-related brain damage. He collaborates on projects exploring neuronal responses to symmetry and the interplay between shape and numerosity perception.
Professional affiliations include membership in the Cognition in Complex Environments research group and the university's broader psychology department. Dering's work bridges neuroscience and cognitive psychology, emphasizing electrophysiological methods and translational research into neurobehavioral disorders.
