معرفی
Professor Evan Livesey is a faculty member in the School of Psychology at the University of Sydney, with a focus on cognitive processes such as learning, attention, and decision-making. His research examines associative learning mechanisms, cognitive control, and the interplay between learning and visual attention. He holds a PhD (Experimental Psychology) from the University of Cambridge and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Sydney.
Research Interests: Evan's work spans associative learning, cognitive control, selective attention, and the neural basis of learning. His studies align with the University's research strengths in Brain, Behaviour and Cognition, and Health and Wellbeing. Recent grants include investigations into inhibitory control, motor cortex function, and the relationship between cortical inhibition and executive control.
Publications: Over 100 peer-reviewed articles in journals like *Cognition*, *Psychonomic Bulletin and Review*, and *NeuroImage*. Key topics include placebo effects, nocebo hyperalgesia, and the neural correlates of behavioral inhibition. His work bridges experimental psychology with neuroscience and clinical applications.
Grants & Labs: Lead researcher on grants totaling over $2M, including ARC Discovery Projects and institutional funding. Directs the Brain & Behaviour Lab, focusing on motor control and learning mechanisms. Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams on projects like the 'Learning to Stop' initiative.
Students: Advises PhD candidates Ellen CHRISTY, Cosette SAUNDERS, and Liz ZENG on topics ranging from nocebo effects to antisocial learning models.
