The Australian National University (ANU) is delighted to host the Australasian Experimental Psychology Conference April 12-14 2023. The Australasian Society for Experimental Psychology Conference (known as "EPC") is an annual meeting for the presentation of scientific work in experimental psychology, with a focus on human perception and cognition. For more information about EPC and its history (including previous conference abstracts), please see https://www.asep.com.au/

EPC2023 will be held on ANU campus at the new flagship Kambri precinct, nestled amongst thriving cafes and restaurants. April is a glorious time in Canberra with autumn colours decorating this unique city. Canberra is home to the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, National Arboretum, Australian National Botanic Gardens, Australian War Memorial, and National Science and Technology Centre. One of Canberra’s most recent developments is the hipster-friendly Braddon restaurant and bar district, within easy walking distance of the ANU Campus. The Canberra region also boasts multiple award-winning wineries.

Steve Most, UNSW Sydney
Steve Most is Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, where he directs the Motivated Attention and Perception Lab. He and his team use behavioural and physiological measures to understand how attention, motivation, and emotion shape perception and memory, as well as their implications for wellbeing in the real world (e.g., road safety). He is best known for his work on inattentional blindness and on emotion-induced blindness. Steve received his B.A in psychology and creative writing at Brandeis University and his Ph.D. in psychology from Harvard, followed by postdoctoral training at Vanderbilt and Yale. Before joining UNSW, he was tenured as Associate Professor at the University of Delaware in the US, where he continues to maintain an affiliated appointment.
