Ryan Ringer

Ryan Ringer is a Post-Doctoral Researcher and Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver, within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His expertise spans Experimental Psychology, Cognitive Neuroscience, Eye Tracking, Visual Perception, and Aging-related research. He holds a Ph.D. and is affiliated with multiple research initiatives focusing on attentional mechanisms and perceptual processing.

Research interests include the dynamics of visual attention, spatial perception, and cognitive aging, with a focus on methodologies like ERP studies and gaze-contingent displays. His work explores how attention modulates perception across diverse contexts, including real-world scenes and complex environments.

Ryan’s publications emphasize visual search behaviors, saccadic timing, and the interplay between cognitive load and perceptual tasks. His studies bridge theoretical frameworks with applied research, such as investigating the cognitive benefits of pickleball for older adults.

No scientific awards are listed, though his contributions to cognitive and visual neuroscience are notable. He advises no formal students but collaborates on grants and research teams focused on aging and perceptual science.

Ryan’s lab and team work integrate advanced eye-tracking and neuroimaging techniques to study attentional dynamics, with ongoing projects on event perception and spatial cognition.
