Raymond M. Klein is a University Research Professor at Dalhousie University, chairperson of the Department of Psychology and past president of the Canadian Society for Brain, Behavior and Cognitive Science. Professor Klein is a cognitive neuroscientist who, since his first sabbatical at Bell Telephone Laboratories, has a palpable interest in applying the methods of experimental psychology to help solve real-world problems. He has conducted research with the Canadian Defense Department (on non-random spatial choice behavior), Nortel Technologies (on graphic user interface design), Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, now NSCAD University (on where do art students look when drawing from observation, and how does this change with training), and most recently with the Bank of Canada (on the detection and perception of counterfeit currency). His research strategies are most strongly influenced by those of Donald Hebb, Donald Broadbent and Michael Posner. His research interests include: visual attention and its disorders, reading and dyslexia, applied cognitive psychology and the design of things we use.
