research opportunities psychology

Lorraine Chuen (’15 MSc) completed her M.Sc. thesis through the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour, investigating the role of amplitude envelope in facilitating the unity assumption in audio-visual integration.  

Prior to enrolling at at McMaster, Lorraine completed her B.A. (Honours) in Psychology at McGill University under the supervision of Dr. Stephen McAdams. She has worked at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music, the McGill School of Communication Sciences and Disorders, and the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research (BRAMS) at Universite de Montreal.
