Susan Lederman

Susan J. Lederman FRSC is a Canadian experimental psychologist. She is a professor emerita in the Department of Psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.[1] She is recognized for her contributions to the field of haptics.[2][3]

Lederman earned a B.A. from the University of Toronto in 1968; an M.A. from the University of Wisconsin in 1970; and a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto in 1973.[1]

Lederman's research has examined, among other topics, the tactile psychophysics of texture perception,[4][5] and the haptic processing of objects[6][7] and faces.[8][9] She led a research project to design and test the addition of a tactile feature to Canadian banknotes, in order to increase their accessibility to blind and visually impaired users.[10][3] She was formerly the Associate Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE journal Transactions on Haptics.[11]

gollark: But ones like "HOW DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE ALL THE GOODS AND SERVICES GO AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" seem bigger.
gollark: Well, sure.
gollark: The problems I think are problematic are mostly stuff like "intellectual property is somewhat weird and broken", "pricing of some goods (housing, mostly) is weird too", "education frequently doesn't work as well as it should", "there are big technology/surveillance monopolies which are not good", and "government decision-making is pretty poor".
gollark: Blame it for not redirecting to HTTPS like my *cool* website.
gollark: Well, they have short descriptions of many of the ideas on the website.
