معرفی
Steven Prime is an Associate Professor in Cognitive Neuroscience and Faculty Member in Psychology and Health Studies at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Arts and Science. He directs the Neurocognition & Psychophysics Laboratory, focusing on cognitive and cortical processes related to attention and perception. His work combines cognitive psychology, psychophysics, eye-tracking, computational modeling, and TMS. He holds a B.A. (Honours) from Simon Fraser University, M.A. and Ph.D. from York University, and completed a CIHR-funded postdoc at the University of Manitoba before holding roles at Victoria University of Wellington and his current position.
Education:
- B.A. (Honours), Simon Fraser University
- M.A., York University
- Ph.D., York University
- CIHR-funded Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Manitoba
Research Interests:
- Multisensory Integration: How senses collaborate to form coherent perception, including ventriloquism effects and timing synchronization between senses.
- Crossmodal Attention: Examining how attention allocation across modalities impacts performance (e.g., auditory distractions in driving).
- Trans-saccadic Perception: Investigating how the brain maintains visual continuity despite rapid eye movements, focusing on object memory and perceptual stability.
Lab Activities: The Neurocognition & Psychophysics Lab employs advanced methodologies to study neural mechanisms underlying perception and cognition, with a focus on trans-saccadic processes and multisensory interactions.
