angie nikoleychuk

Angie Nikoleychuk is a first-year Master’s student studying sound annoyance and the unity assumption. She holds a B.Sc. (Hons) in Psychology with Distinction from the University of Lethbridge. Her honours thesis examined how auditory sequences act as contextual cues that influence memory and decision-making.

Angie is passionate about applying empirical methods to real-world problems, including technologies that support autonomy, user experience, and informative soundscapes. Her research interests include auditory perception, multisensory integration, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying our ability to make sense of complex sound environments.

A classically trained oboist with 30 years of performance, composition, and teaching experience, she brings a musician’s perspective to her interdisciplinary research and is excited to explore the intersection of music, cognition, and human experience.
