Edward Large

Edward Large is a Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at the University of Connecticut. His research focuses on the interdisciplinary study of auditory neuroscience, music psychology, and dynamical systems, with additional interests in ecological psychology and perception-action-cognition. He is recognized for his leadership as President of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition.

Professor Large's research program integrates computational modeling with experimental approaches to understand neural mechanisms of rhythm perception, music cognition, and auditory processing. Key areas include neural oscillations, sensorimotor synchronization, and neurodynamic modeling of musical phenomena. His work bridges theoretical neuroscience with practical applications in neurotechnology and clinical interventions.

Analysis of recent publications (2022-2025) reveals three dominant research streams: (1) Development of computational tools for neural data analysis (e.g., GrFNN Toolbox) and music visualization systems, (2) Clinical applications of music-based interventions for neurological conditions, and (3) Fundamental research on neural entrainment mechanisms during rhythm processing. These publications demonstrate consistent innovation in methodology and theory across auditory neuroscience and music cognition domains.
