Philippe Lacherez

Philippe Lacherez is an Associate Professor at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), based in the School of Psychology & Counselling within the Faculty of Health. His research focuses on cognitive and computational psychology, with a particular emphasis on sensory integration, perception, and human factors in aging populations and transportation safety.

He holds a PhD from the University of Queensland and has conducted extensive studies on multisensory processing, earworm phenomena (involuntary musical imagery), and the impact of sensory impairments on driving performance. His work also addresses the design of audiovisual alarms and navigation systems, as well as the cognitive mechanisms underlying threat detection in security contexts.

Lacherez's articles span interdisciplinary topics such as musical training effects on sensory integration, the development of night-time hazard visibility tests, and age-related changes in visual and motion perception.

His research has been supported by grants focused on applied psychology and human factors engineering, though specific grant details are not explicitly listed in the provided text. Collaborations include projects with engineers, optometrists, and transportation safety experts.
