Overview

Susanne Ferber is a researcher affiliated with the University of Toronto in Canada, specializing primarily in neuroscience with a focused expertise in cognitive neuroscience. Their scholarly work frequently appears in prominent publication venues, notably including the Journal of Vision, where they have contributed to 13 publications, as well as in the Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & Performance, Scientific Reports, Brain and Cognition, and Cognition.

Ferber's research explores a variety of topics within neuroscience, with particular attention to visual perception and processing mechanisms, neural and behavioral psychology studies, and the broader field of cognitive neuroscience. Other areas addressed in their work include human-automation interaction and safety, multisensory perception and integration, autism spectrum disorder research, and neuroscience and neural engineering.

Several recent papers highlight Ferber's contributions to understanding visual working memory and cognitive processing. These include:

  • Visual working memory and sensory processing in autistic children, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Visual working memory deficits following right brain damage, 2020, Brain and Cognition
  • Tuning the ensemble: Incidental skewing of the perceptual average through memory-driven selection., 2021, Journal of Experimental Psychology Human Perception & Performance
  • Directed avoidance and its effect on visual working memory, 2020, Cognition
  • Proactive interference of visual working memory chunks implicates long-term memory, 2024, Memory & Cognition

Ferber frequently collaborates with several coauthors, most notably Jay Pratt and Ryan Williams, with whom they have coauthored eleven and ten papers respectively. Other regular collaborators include Logan Doyle, Justin Ruppel, and Morgan D. Barense.

Their scientific contributions cover both fundamental and applied aspects of cognitive neuroscience and visual working memory, often intersecting with developmental and social psychology subfields. This cross-disciplinary approach integrates multiple dimensions of experimental and cognitive psychology, emphasizing the neural and behavioral underpinnings of human perception and memory systems.
