Biography

Matthew O'Donohue is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Macquarie University specializing in sensory cognitive processing. His research focuses on multisensory processing, exploring how different sensory modalities, particularly audition and vision, are integrated in humans. He investigates the effects of neurodivergence on basic sensory processing, employing a range of technical skills in psychophysics, psychoacoustics, electrophysiology, and computational modeling. Theoretically, he works within the domains of multisensory integration, associative statistical learning, Bayesian inference, fear conditioning, auditory neurophysiology, and the impact of musical training on sensory perception. O'Donohue holds a Doctorate in Psychology with a focus on the effects of musical training on audiovisual integration. His academic contributions include various presentations and publications that aim to elucidate sensory processing in both neurotypical and neurodivergent listeners.
