Psychology Department

Professor John McDonald, Feb. 9th and 10th

John McDonald

Professor McDonald studies the cognitive and neural mechanisms of human perception, selective attention, and multisensory processing using a variety of techniques including EEG, MEG, and fMRI. He has published numerous papers in journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Neuroscience, and Psychological Science, and is currently Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Neuroscience. His visit to Reed is sponsored by the Psychology Department and the Rhodes Fund.
