Ryan A. Stevenson

Ryan A. Stevenson is a Professor leading the Sensory Perception Research Lab at Western University. His research focuses on multisensory integration, perceptual binding, and how sensory inputs are processed into coherent perceptions. He employs methodologies such as fMRI, EEG, and behavioral psychophysical tasks to study cognitive processes across the lifespan and in clinical populations including autism spectrum disorder and cochlear implant users.

Key research areas include the neural mechanisms underlying audiovisual speech perception, temporal and spatial factors in multisensory integration, and individual differences in sensory processing. Stevenson collaborates with global institutions and has published extensively in neuroscience and cognitive science journals.

His lab actively recruits undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral researchers, emphasizing participation from diverse groups. Recent work includes studies on autism symptomatology linked to sensory processing and advancements in cochlear implant research.
