  • 1990 - Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA)

Overview

Peter E. Keller is affiliated with the University of Sydney in Australia and conducts research primarily in neuroscience and psychology. Their work spans several fields, focusing extensively on cognitive neuroscience and social psychology, with contributions also in experimental and cognitive psychology, neurology, and signal processing.

Their research covers key topics including neuroscience and music perception, action observation and synchronization, neural dynamics and brain function, multisensory perception and integration, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, vestibular and auditory disorders, and music and audio processing.

Recent publications highlight various aspects of rhythm, brain function, and music performance. Notable papers include:

  • "Interpersonal Entrainment in Music Performance" (2020), published in Music Perception An Interdisciplinary Journal
  • "Mapping between sound, brain and behaviour: four-level framework for understanding rhythm processing in humans and non-human primates" (2021), in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences
  • "Endogenous sources of interbrain synchrony in duetting pianists" (2021), in Cerebral Cortex
  • "The Neuroscience of Dance: A Conceptual Framework and Systematic Review" (2023), in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews
  • "A review of psychological and neuroscientific research on musical groove" (2023), in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

Peter E. Keller frequently collaborates with several researchers, with notable coauthors including Manuel Varlet, Sylvie Nozaradan, Sendhil Govender, James G. Colebatch, and Neil P. McAngus Todd, reflecting a broad network within the field.

Major venues for their work feature Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Cerebral Cortex, Neuroscience Letters, and Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, indicating a strong presence in journals focused on neuroscience and cognitive research.

They were recognized as a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (APA) in 1990, highlighting a longstanding engagement with psychological science.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in psychology from a U.S. institution offers a wide range of career pathways, including clinical practice, research, counseling, and education. With the rise of online programs, students now have more accessible routes to complete the academic requirements needed for licensure as a therapist or counselor in different states.

Before practicing, aspiring therapists must fulfill strict educational and licensure requirements that vary by location. For instance, New York City licensed therapist education requirements outline the necessary graduate degrees and supervised experience. If you are interested in practicing in New Jersey, view the details on how to become a licensed therapist in Newark for local standards.

Other locations present similar—but slightly different—paths. Prospective counselors should review how to become a licensed therapist in Norfolk or the North Las Vegas licensed therapist education requirements for region-specific advice. These guides can help you choose the best online degree program and plan your career after graduation, whether you hope to serve your community or specialize in a clinical setting.
